I have SUPER mixed feelings about Albee; his rage over the whole "being gay and adopted" thing is something I sympathize with so, and he's so, so violently, ruthlessly angry and therefore..."nasty" in this way the other Freudian '40s-'50s-'...60s American drama scenesters just don't come across as to me, somehow. Rawer, less submerged and less poignantly resigned than say, O'Neill or Williams or Miller. I think the energy still there despite all the jadedness and depression and feeling emotionally castrated, it speaks to me so much more than the others.
