Seascape: The Entire Appalling Business

Seascape: The Entire Appalling Business

â€œHats off, and up in the air! A major dramatic event.â€ The New York Times

On the heels of the success of Edward Albeeâ€™s The Collected Plays of Edward Albee, Overlook brings backâ€”in a stand-alone volumeâ€”one of Albeeâ€™s most cherished plays, a fantastic story of what it means to be aliveâ€”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 fallsâ€”or the last page is turned.
