...impressive original work, Edward Albee's one-acter, The American Dream, a somber and surrealistic situation comedy deploring the loss of values in U.S. life. Albee is also represented in a downtown double bill of disenchantment that includes his The Zoo Story and Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape.

...conditioning has helped the better offerings in the little theaters to survive as well. Among them: The Balcony, French Playwright Jean Genet's dramatic thesis that the world is a brothel and vice versa; The Connection, an awesomely naturalistic study of junkies in their pad; Krapp's Last Tape, a single-actor tour de force about youth and age, on a double bill with The Zoo Story, wherein Playwright Edward Albee creates a critical mass by clanging together a beat with a square; A Country Scandal, an early play of Anton Chekhov, produced professionally...
