The American Dream by Edward Albee
In this vicious parable about America, Mummy and Daddy live in gilt-edged insecurity, Mummy ruling with an unholy vitality that has reduced Daddy to a terrible, contented impotence. Into the house strays a beautiful young man -- an American dream -- except that he can feel nothing because he is the twin of the child they killed years before.--Back cover.
Edward Albee is one of a handful of our country's most important living playwrights. He has won numerous awards, including three Pulitzer Prizes (A Delicate Balance, Seascape, and Three Tall Women) and three Tony Awards (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, A Delicate Balance, and The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?). In 1996 he received a Kennedy Center Lifetime Achievement Award and was presented with the National Medal of Arts by President Clinton. At the Kennedy Center Honors Ceremony, Albee was praised for his impact on American drama: Albee's plays, with their intensity, their grappling with modern themes, and their experiments in form, startled critics and audiences alike while changing the landscape of American drama.
