WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
At a late night party, Sam and Jo entertain their friends with a round of Twenty Questions and another round of drinks. When an unexpected guest and her mysterious companion arrive, the question "Who are you?" gains a whole new and desperate meaning.
A rare gem from three time Pulitzer Prize Award-winner and Signature Legacy playwright Edward Albee

Albee's Lady... Angels in Dubuque
If it's a light, entertaining evening in the theater you're looking for, don't venture to the brand new Signature Theater space on 42nd street between 9th and 10th avenues. If it's thought provoking, intelligent and highly emotional theater experiences are your cup of tea, as are mine, you can not do any better than the mysterious and highly personal drama, 'The Lady From Dubuque'. It is an evening of theatre I promise you, you won't soon forget. Excellent design, fabulous direction and extraordinary acting. This is perfect theatre from curtain rise to curtain call. Is it 'entertaining'?, not by a long-shot! Is it sober, bitter reality it most certainly is! If you admired "Angels in America', I urge you to see this! Bravo Edward Albee, Jane Alexander and the entire cast for bringing intelligent theater to New York once again.

At the beginning of Edward Albee's famed 1980 flop
The Lady from Dubuque, now being unnecessarily revived by the Signature Theatre Company, Sam (Michael Hayden)
-- the host of a party where a game of "Twenty Questions" is in full swing -- asks "Who Am I?" And before the piece finishes, the title character (played by Jane Alexander) declares in significantly apocalyptic manner that the most important question a misguided earthling can pose is "Who Am I?"
Clearly, Albee intends these comments to indicate the depths of his dramaturgical probing of the human condition, but as in many of his lesser works, his characters end up sounding merely portentous throughout most of this hollowly int[...]
