What a gift this is to stumble across after watching an old interview with the GREAT Mr. Albee. VERY grateful for the posting. William Daniels continues to amaze! The Graduate! Captain Nice. Now this!!! Not necessarily in that order...
This is the "full" album but certainly not the full TEXT of the original PLAY which was published in book form (not the original Acting Edition released through Dramatist's). Also included in the book was the debut of "Krapp'a Last Tape" by Sam Beckett. Most (probably ALL) theaters whether Equity, non-AEA or Community use the BOOK as text. It's actually what they used in both the 1959 world premiere in Berlin and the later American debut Off-Broadway in '60. Jerry's Dog Story monologue is six and a half pages in the book!! It's been absolutely NEUTERED here. Must have been an AEA decision, as they STUFF the coffers of Dramatist's. What a shame!
Meh, not my favorite Albee. I’m so glad A Delicate Balance is here too. The BBC did a good reading of ...Virginia Woolf that’s available as well. I’d love to see a good production of Three Tall Women filmed.
THANK YOU!!!! I've been looking for this recording since college in the 80s.

I would like to see a video of this play.
Certainly one of Albee's best, and this is essentially the Original Cast (for a couple of weeks, at first, George Maharis had Richman's role).
Wish it was a video instead of audio
FEENEH! FEEHEEHEEHEEEEENEH! FEENEEEEE!
I want to see more videos of William Daniels instead of hear audios.
can you help me to describe absurdity in the zoo story with 4 elements : fooling, clowning, mad scene and verbal nonsense ?

You can't fit more than an hour of audio on a vinyl record. It's plainly just a technological limitation of the 1960s, no need to be a pedant.
