Albee had been the last living author of one of what I (and others) consider the five Great American Plays. I got to meet him once, and listen to him speak. A fascinating man, and surprisingly gracious. But he also took no crap from anyone.

"That's what happens in plays, yes? The s**t hits the fan."
Best Edward Albee quote ever. It was so good that I referenced it in one of my Tangredi games.
