WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Lawrence Sacharow directs three short plays by Beckett (Not I; Footfalls; A Piece of Monologue) and Albee's 1976 play Counting the Ways.
Beckett/Albee marks the first time that works by Samuel Beckett and Edward Albee have been performed together on the same bill in New York since that famous time in 1960 when Krapp's Last Tape and a played called The Zoo Story by an unknown playwright shared the stage at the Provincetown Playhouse on MacDougal Street.
It also marks the first time that Marian Seldes and Brian Murray will appear together on stage since their triumph in 2001 in Edward Albee's The Play About the Baby.

An insert supplied with the Beckett/Albee program includes some intriguing remarks that Samuel Beckett made about himself and his work. On the opposite page, in much smaller type, are comments others have made about Beckett. Edward Albee's observation is in a very small type size.
