Synopsis
On the heels of the success of Edward Albee's The Collected Plays of Edward Albee
, Overlook brings back--in a stand-alone volume--one of Albee's most cherished plays, a fantastic story of what it means to be alive--winner of the 1975 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
On a deserted stretch of beach, a middle-aged couple relaxes after a picnic lunch and converse idly about home, family, and their life together.
She sketches; he naps.
Then, suddenly, they are joined by two sea creatures, a pair of lizards from the depths of the ocean, with whom they engage in a fascinating dialogue.
The emotional and intellectual reverberations of this bizarre conversation will linger in the heart and the mind long after the curtain falls--or the last page is turned.

Press Reviews
"A major work by one of our theatre’s most famous and important writers. Critically hailed in its successful Broadway production, the play brings true eloquence, wit and warmth to its compelling yet subtle examination of the very meaning and significance of life itself. Hats off, and up in the air! A major dramatic event."
— New York Times
"Of all Mr. Albee’s plays, Seascape is the most exquisitely written."
— The New Yorker
