Lincoln Center Theater's Platform Series, a forum for public
discussion between Lincoln Center Theater artists and interested
theatergoers, will continue its 2005-2006 season this Wednesday, December
7th at 6:30 pm with a free pre-performance talk with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Edward Albee. The event will be held at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre at Lincoln Center. Albee's play Seascape opened at the Booth Theatre in an acclaimed revival on November 21st; it stars Frances Sternhagen, George Grizzard, Elizabeth Marvel and Frederick Weller. Seascape premiered on
Broadway in 1975 and won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, one of three won
by the playwright.
With the Platform Series talk, Albee returns to Lincoln Center Theater where
his first Pulitzer Prize-winning drama A Delicate Balance won the
1996 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play. The winner of a 2005 Tony
Award for Lifetime Achievement, he was represented on Broadway last
season by the critically-acclaimed new production of his Tony Award-winning drama Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? His recent works include
the Tony Award-winning Best Play The Goat, Or Who Is Sylvia?, The Play
About The Baby and Three Tall Women, which won him his third Pulitzer
Prize in 1995.
