In the intervening years, popular culture has caught up with Albee’s atheistic view but this series of taut, compelling scenes for two and three actors at a time remains, in theatrical terms, a gallop through rough terrain on a spirited bronco. When Tiny Alice premiered in December 1964, Elliott Norton, dean of Boston critics, proclaimed Edward Albee’s drama “big and brutal as an Elizabethan tragedy, sinister and blasphemous as a black mass, more depraved than any drama yet produced on the American stage” and, “in its own evil, cynical way, a theatrical wonder.” More than a quarter century later, Tiny Alice doesn’t seem depraved, blasphemous, or even cynical. ![]()
