The four plays in this volume represent in their different ways the best of the new theatre of America. Edward Albee, has already made a considerable impact as one of the most exciting dramatists to appear in recent years. Murray Schisgal has won admiration from the critics on both side of the Atlantic, and Jack Richardson is beginning to be recognized as an imporant and highly original theatrical talent. Even Arthur Miller, established figure though he is, has made, in Incident at Vichy, a new and thoughfu departure that represents an important addition to his works.
