Having never read one of his plays I cannot judge Mr. Albee
on his abilities as a playwright, but based on his personality I must say that
I’m not a fan. Mr. Albee seems rather conceited and caught up in his own
genius. Though I must say I found the interviewer annoying as well, I didn’t
think Albee handled his more annoying questions very gracefully and seemed
resistant to a lot of them.
He did seem to have an impressive life, one very suited for
deriving inspiration from. His position as an adopted child, his problems at
home, and then his very independent youth, all serve as very inspiring and
interesting events.
One detail of the interview I found interesting was his
connection with other artists. They spoke of many famous artists he lived near
in New York and his friendship with Tennessee Williams. I find the fact that so
many of these, almost larger then life, legendary artists all interacted.
