Play :: Finding the Sun (1983) - Four couples arrive on a Long Island beach for privileged conservatives. Daniel and Benjamin, once lovers but now married to Abigail and Cordelia, still long to be together. In a series of short scenes, Albee exposes the pain and dark comedy at the heart of this arrangement. Marriage Play (1987) - is a portrait of a married couple in crisis. Jack and Gillian are characterised with Albee's usual wit, poetry and unsparing insight.
