Death of Bessie Smith the Sandbox and the American Dream

This new collection features three acclaimed one-act plays from Edward Albee's early years. With the initial productions of the Death of Bessie Smith, The Sandbox, and The American Dream, Albee consolidated his reputation as a brilliant new talent of the New York Theater scene. These three plays tackle major themes such as race relations, American family life, and the essence of theater itself - each of which still continues to resonate.
