Seascape (1975), a play by Edward
Albee. [
Shubert Theatre, 65 perf.; Pulitzer Prize.] On a deserted stretch of beach, the late‐middle‐aged couple Charlie ( Barry
Nelson) and Nancy ( Deborah Kerr) are discussing their “pleasant” marriage when two human‐sized lizards, Leslie ( Frank
Langella) and Sarah ( Maureen Anderman), enter from the sea, having taken a giant step in the evolutionary process and are considering becoming land creatures. After a bizarre but articulate discussion by the foursome, the lizards decide to return to the water, but Nancy suggests that one day they shall return because change is inevitable. Widely mixed notices forced the play (produced by Richard
Barr and others) to close before it was awarded the
Pulitzer Prize.
