\u2018The Play\u00a0About The Baby\u2019, the Abbey Arts Centre, Ballyshannon, March 19th, 7.30pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Closing the Ballyshannon Drama Festival this year we have Prosperous presenting Edward Albee’s ‘The Play About The Baby’.<\/p>\n

Please note the earlier start time of 7.30pm to allow for the awards ceremony, which will begin\u00a0shortly after the adjudication.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>The play opens in a version of Eden, with the Boy and Girl. She is pregnant. The Girl gives birth to the baby. Soon, a middle aged couple, the Man and Woman appear…Witty, cryptic, part puzzle play, part vaudeville, the play is essential Albee, and shows the major American dramatist – now deceased – continuing a career of experimentation that has always been very European in its absurdist embrace and subsequent disregard for naturalism. This funny, harrowing dramatic fable, which features a four-member ensemble, is as explicit and concise a statement of what Mr. Albee believed as he is ever likely to deliver. It is presented in the form of what might be called a cosmic vaudeville, in which two old pros in this old world teach a pair of young adults just how bleak and dangerous the universe can be.<\/p>\n
