When Albee’s strong knowledge of drama and his meaningful dialog is mixed with Carson McCullers dreams about the Ballads of the South, the result becomes refreshingly new but at the same time form a familiar sentimental kind of theatre. Their game in love and death in a comer of a recently past world, has the folktales power and the sadness of the blues in every scene. The female leading role, the two male and the narrator, are stimulating challenges.
