An interview with Edward Albee
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 May 2006
The place: Mr. Albee's loft apartment in Tribeca, New York City.
The time: 10a.m., Friday, November 14, 2003.
Let's begin with right now. Are you currently working on any new writing?
Yes, I am. Let's see, the last thing that was done in New York - of new work - was The Goat, which is going into rehearsal next month in London, at the Almeida. And I've accepted a commission from the Hartford Stage Company to write a play to go with my play The Zoo Story. It's normally an hour long, and I have to keep approving other people's plays, or another one of my own, to be done with it. And it occurred to me that even though I was fairly happy with The Zoo Story when I wrote it, I really didn't do a full job on the character of Peter. Jerry we know very well. So I'm writing a play about Peter, before he meets Jerry, called Homelife. Peter at home with his wife, Ann, and how this affects his reaction to Jerry - to the extent that it does.
