Description

Undated, estimated to be c. 1967

From the program:

The Art Theatre of the University of Maine in Portland, proudly presents three contemporary one-act plays by Edward Albee.

FAM AND YAM
Directed by Thomas A. Power
Fam and Yam is an imaginary interview. It is a short but eloquent example of the biting wit and incisive satire of this brilliant young American playwright.

THE AMERICAN DREAM
Directed by William P. Steele
Time: The Present
Place: A typical upper middle class American home

THE SANDBOX
Directed by Thomas A. Power
In this play Mr. Albee crosses the boundaries between life and the stage. As Grandma begins to weave her own rather dismayed history between the cool, indifferent patter of the people and the equally cool but somehow more sympathetic sounds from the guitar, as Grandma covers herself with sand in order to die, and as the cryptic athlete turns out to bear a relationship to her after all, a nearly invisible string of intelligence and sentiment moves to bind the collage together.
