Wonderful, insightful interview. I love when Mr. Albee says he writes at his beach house in Montauk and takes long walks along the ocean. That's the life.
This sound like it took place in a time when people would actually be denied access to the class because they lacked the fundamentals and understanding.
I was a student at the U of H when he taught there. For a while I believed it was a shame I never took his class. But I'm glad I didn't. I have the feeling that he crushed the dreams of many creators. The snooty elitism coming off him is chilling. Mamet, by contrast, is very open that "if a class clown like me can do this, you can too." It's highly irresponsible to sit as a professor not believing in the abilities of your students. It makes me sick, really. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it. If you really love it

🌹💙 Edward Albee is brilliant! Thank you for conducting this interview! 🙏.
He was fantastic. His plays are wonderful!
Amazing talk. So much good information!
Wow, I did not know who this was, but a fascinating interviewee! Great video.
I would argue that aquaintance with music of various genres (not necessarily Classical music)might be of use to an aspiring playwright.
Excellent!
What does anyone think about the wonderful Mr. Albee's point that 'the creative act is a solo act'?
accurate
Very honest. Thank you!

I love that, the play begins in the unconsciousness
very helpful

I wonder if any of his students found success.
none. guess why...
can someone tell me why a computer science student needs to take theatre appreciation, I’m still not convinced.
Well, due to this question, you are taking this class.
Faisal majed Was.
You’re a few months late.
Ashton Snapp did you enjoy it at least ?
Faisal majed nope, hence the question.
@@AshtonSnapp sorry to heat that. I hope you passed the class at least.
These are the old guards. Outdated and arrogant.
Old and boring, not much useful information. But I do wonder what this guy would have said about Covid and how it crippled theater.
Does anyone else get pretentious vibes from this guy?
