Not Unexpected From Albee,
By Kevin L. Nenstiel "omnivore" (Kearney, Nebraska) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Sandbox and the Death of Bessie Smith (Plume) (Mass Market Paperback)
These plays are drenched in the condemnation that we've come to expect from Edward Albee. "The Sandbox" condemns his parents (his mother was more recently condemned in "Three Tall Women"), "The Death of Bessie Smith" condemns the white establishment of the South in the pre-Civil Rights Movement days, and "Fam and Yam" condemns the old order in literature. Albee's world is soaked in doom and filled twice over in hatred for the established order. The only fault is the same one that's been brought against Bob Dylan and Sam Peckinpah -- if the establishment had to go, what's going to replace it?

Does Anyone Know what "The Sandbox" Means?,
This review is from: The Sandbox and the Death of Bessie Smith (Plume) (Mass Market Paperback)
"The Sandbox" is an excellent play, very strange, thought-provoking and entertaining. If anyone has any interpretations on what it means, e mail me. Also read "The American Dream," which includes all of the same characters in "The Sandbox."
