Title: Only 1 out of 3 is good...
Review: This book has three of Edward Albee's early plays in it. Zoo Story(his first), an amateurish two-man drama, where one is a raving psycho and the other is a man drawn in and then repulsed. That would get only a star. "Death of Bessie Smith" is a message play, where racism is just oozing from most characters. It critizes, and it is ugly, but yet..feels so empty. Perhaps it is because Bessie never speaks for herself, only her paramour does pre-accident. Finally, "The Sandbox", which is the only good play in the book. It's about death, and our fear of it. Since it is has only one of three good plays, I say, don't bother.
Is the review positive or negative?
