Actors and Albee Q&A

The Globe provides a forum in which Albee answers questions from Actors and Directors who have produced his works.

All of the best plays follow a character's emotional journey. Look at "King Lear." Look at "Macbeth." I love to be surprised by what actors discover in the characters. I'm directing two plays that I wrote 45 years ago [at the Cherry Lane Theatre], but I'm finding the actors bring new life to them. I can't tell how audiences will respond to them now, and I don't think about how the plays will resonate with audiences today. My plays were written at a particular time
and can't be updated. That's ridiculous. People update Shakespeare because he's in the public domain and can't get his agent to call and
complain.
