Author’s Note from book
It has been the expressed home of many that I would write a preface to the published text of Tiny Alice, clarifying obscure points in the play – explaining my intention, in other words. I have decided against creating such a guide because I find – after reading the play over – that I share the view of even more people: that the play is quite clear. I will confess, though, that Tiny Alice is less opaque in reading than it would be in any single viewing. One further note: this printed text of Tiny Alice represents the complete play. Some deletions – mainly in the final act – were made for the New York production; and while I made the deletions myself, and quite cheerfully, realizing their wisdom in the particular situation, I restore them her with even greater enthusiasm.
Reviews
“In Tiny Alice Edward Albee has moved into the difficult, mysterious, ever tantalizing realm of faith. He has written with the literacy of a man who know that the word itself can be charged with drama and with a gift for making a scene on a stage reverberate with subtle overtone. Tiny Alice provides the kind of exhilarating evening that stretches the mind and sensibilities” – Howard Taubman, The New York Times
