The Play About the Baby

A young couple has a new baby. Or do they? An older couple, intruding on the youngsters’ Eden say they don’t. The pain that ensues calls into question both couples’ sense of reality and fiction, joy and sorrow. In Edward Albee’s The Play About the Baby, all rules are broken as innocence collides with experience and the meaning of life is found in the nuances of language. Pam MacKinnon directs this Philadelphia premiere.
