Edward Franklin Albee, nado en Washington, D.C. o 12 de marzo de 1928 e finado en Montauk (Nova York) o 16 de setembro de 2016,[1] foi un dramaturgo norteamericano.

A súa obra máis senlleira é Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Traxectoria[editar | editar a fonte]

Ás poucas semanas de nacer adoptouno o propietario dunha cadea de teatros, o que marcou a súa traxectoria profesional. As obras de Albee son únicas, inscritas na escola do absurdo: unha das súas grandes influencias foi Samuel Beckett.
