The American Dream By EDWARD ALBEE
The family as 'icon' is destroyed as Mommy and Daddy flaunt their complacency, their artificiality and their cruelty. Not satisfied with their child they tear him apart, and await the American Dream: a handsome, Upright, physically perfect young man - drained of all humanity.
Wected by PETER KING
