Ha Ha Edward Albee Doesn't Wash His Hands

102407albee.jpg
You may not be as good of a playwright as Edward Albee. Albee wrote Oklahoma! and his magnum opus Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, which is about being afraid of having to read Virginia Woolf in English class. It was considered scandalous in 1860 or whenever it was written but now contains less sexual content than your average Wiggles concert.

Albee was in town for the opening of the Suzanne Roberts Theatre and Dan Gross saw him not wash his hands:

The folks eager to shake hands with legendary playwright Edward Albee, who delivered remarks about his old friend [Terrence] McNally, after the performance may not have known that Albee skipped the sink after paying a visit to the urinal, as we witnessed firsthand.

So, yeah, you may not have written The American Dream, but at least you wash your hands.

Dan, maybe he was in a hurry because he was nervous of a Larry Craig episode with all your staring.
