Albeetross

Edward Albee is ridiculous. Talented, but ridiculous.
Mr. Albee is a man who is so caught up in his own genius that he comes across as pompous and arrogant, which ultimately does his writing a great disservice. The sheer fact that he behaves the way he does, and SPEAKS the way he does, makes me want to never read his work. It is people such as Mr. Albee who give grave sentiment to the term "first world problems."
So, your life was hard. So, you were adopted. You're a white man in America... GET OVER IT.
I found myself stifling laughs throughout his interview because I felt as though everything he was saying was so out of touch and pathetic. I thought playwrights where supposed to be people watchers. What type of people is Edward Albee watching? Shut-ins with no people skills? Because that is exactly how he behaves.
