A review on the jacket called it "his best work since Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" and. Yeah. Of all the backhanded, accurate compliments.
Yet another play with a room full of middle-aged people at a party and they all don't like each other very much. Only this time they say words like "breast" and have a black actor on stage, so you know its not the 60s! Oh, and one person is dying painfully, so there's lots of dramatic screaming at artistic points.
There are at least some funny bits, but these are hidden by the cringe.

The thing is, there are moments of brilliance in this. Moments when I was struck to my core. But there are also moments of, "What in the world is happening right now and why should I care?"
However, I have actually seen this play as well, (with Maggie Smith in the title role) and it was worth every penny. The right cast made this script fabulous. The wrong cast could make it drudgery. But then again, I suppose you could say that about any play.

I wanted to like this, considering I am from Dubuque, but I can understand why its opening run was only 12 days.
Definitely more in the TINY ALICE vein of Albee's work. Actually it sort of seemed like TINY ALICE and THE AMERICAN DREAM crossed with A DELICATE BALANCE and WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?
