I wish there were more hard-hitting, sotto voce interviews like this one nowadays. A true pleasure to listen to and take notes from.

Fine interview-seeing this so many years later. His observations are as prescient now. He knew his stuff and spoke consistently about theater and his own works until he died this year at 88.

As a huge admirer of this man,it is great to see such a rare piece of interview footage posted for all to see. This is obviously from the late 70s since he mentions the upcoming production on Broadway of 'The Lady from Dubuque'. Well done to the poster, and if anyone else has any rare Albee footage, please let us have it!

I'm in love with this man. His voice is so soothing to me

Barbaralee interviewing Albee--it doesn't get any better.

Honestly, Sam Shepard and Mamet were both already well-established playwrights at the time; it was no prediction. Shepard was a year away from the Pulitzer (Buried Child was only a few months away from the first production at The Magic Theatre in San Fran.) and Mamet had just recently had American Buffalo on Broadway. He also gives a backhanded compliment to Mamet -- does the brain match the ear.

he wrote me a postcard regarding the art of Betty Parsons.

Why

I love Albee's work. "Virginia Woolf" might just be my favorite play. "A Delicate Balance" is also incredible.
