Edward Albee Festival

A six-week festival of plays and special events celebrating the work of Edward Albee

Edward Albee—one of America’s greatest living playwrights. Winner of three Pulitzer Prizes and two Tony Awards, Albee has challenged and beguiled us for nearly 50 years. To commemorate Mr. Albee’s 75th birthday, the Goodman will present a six-week celebration of his life and work.

The Albee Festival will include the Chicago premieres of The Goat or, Who is Sylvia? and The Play about the Baby, three programs of Mr. Albee’s one-act plays, and special events featuring noted Albee interpreters and Mr. Albee himself.
