Edward Franklin Albee
(March 12, 1928 - living) U.S.A.
Playwright
 Born in Washington D.C., he was adopted as an infant into a New York family with theatrical links, but did not begin writing until he was 30. His plays belong to the drama of the absurd.
His acclaimed Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, depicting a dysfunctional marriage, was said by some critics to portray gay relationships, with the female characters really men in drag.
And you thought it was just Liz Taylor in a cheap wig...
