Box and Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung is a fascinating work by the master of contemporary American theatre. Written in 1968 after ‘Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’ and ‘A Delicate Balance’, it remains provocative today. Albee’s famed love of language and musical form make this Australian premiere a must-see. Mesmerising, intriguing and full of contemporary challenges. 'If a play can make us more aware of our failings, our responsibilities, to ourselves and others, then it may be able to change us into better people.' - Edward Albee 'Albee's most adventurous work' - The New York Times 'Arresting, imaginative and important' - The New York Post 'Box and Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung is brilliant, a complex, thoughtful and adventurous work. It belongs to that genre of works of art which are about the problem of art itself.' ­ Jack Kroll, Newsweek 'There is a melancholy beauty in this play and genuine feeling without tears' ­ Harold Clurman, The Nation
