A Delicate Balance: Broadway Edition
Edward Albee's play A Delicate Balance won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
The play revolves around wealthy middle-aged couple Agnes and Tobias, who have their complacency shattered when their longtime friends Harry and Edna appear at their doorstep. Claiming an encroaching, nameless "fear" has forced them from their own home, these neighbors bring a firestorm of doubt, recrimination, and ultimately solace, upsetting the "delicate balance" of Agnes and Tobias's household.
A Delicate Balance has enjoyed many stunning revivals, including a Broadway production in 1996, which won the Tony Award for Best Revival, and another at the Almeida Theatre in London in 2011.

Praise for this book
"A deliciously astringent attack on safety and self-satisfaction." --"Variety"
"[Albee] is rightly recognized as one of the key figures in twentieth century American drama, a peer of Eugene O'Neill, Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, and Sam Shepard, and a dramatist of exemplary courage, ambition, and resilience." --"New York Review of Books"
