Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf changed American theatre forever in 1962.

The playwright, refusing to explaining his work, said only that it is about ‘how we practice identity or lack of identity.’

Of one play, Tiny Alice, he said ‘I had thoughts of grand opera while writing it.’

Edward Albee died on Friday in East Hampton.
