Edward Albee’s 1967 adaptation of Giles Cooper’s Everything in the Garden is framed as a comedy of manners, but it is also a biting indictment of greed and its outcomes.
The play exposes the dark underside of the outwardly sunny household of suburbanites Jenny and Richard. Their material aspirations far exceed their bank balance, so how far will one of them go to get the money they both crave? And at what cost?
