  First Edition of Edward Albee’s The Lady From Dubuque; From the Library of Alan Schneider, Director of the Broadway Premiere

  ALBEE, Edward. [Alan Schneider].

  The Lady From Dubuque.

  New York: Atheneum, 1980.

  First edition of Albee’s late play. Octavo, original cloth. From the library of the director Alan Schneider with his ownership signature to the front free endpaper. Schneider directed the play’s Broadway premiere at the Morosco Theatre in January 1980, starring Irene Worth, making this the director’s own copy of the work he carried to the stage that year. Schneider was among the foremost American directors of his generation and the great champion of the postwar stage in the United States: he directed the American premiere of Beckett’s Waiting for Godot in 1956 and remained Beckett’s preferred American director, staged the United States premieres of Pinter’s plays from the 1962 off-Broadway double bill of The Dumb Waiter and The Collection through the Broadway premiere of The Birthday Party in 1967, and won the 1963 Tony Award for Best Direction for the original production of Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Near fine in a very good dust jacket. A desirable copy from the library of the play’s original director.
