After getting tickets to see Albee's Pulizter Prize winning play "A Delicate Balance" on Broadway for next month (with Glenn Close, John Lithgow, Martha Plimpton and Bob Balaban!), I decided to read the play first to get an idea of what to expect. Edward Albee can be crazy and strange but this play is more down to earth than a play like "The Goat or Who is Sylvia?" At least no one leaves their spouse for a barn animal.

This is a drama about an upper-middle-class family of WASPs who are couldn't be more dysfunctional. There's a lot of drinking, yelling, more drinking, and one person's fear that she is going mad, a daughter who is on her 4th divorce, and best friends who come to visit but expect to actually move in.

I liked it much more than I thought I would and can't wait to see it live.
