Hardcover. First edition. Fine in fine dustwrapper. Inscribed by Albee to the play's producer, Clinton Wilder: "For Uncle Clinton, love, Edward." Wilder's first Broadway credit was as a replacement stage manager in the original production of Tennessee Williams' *A Streetcar Named Desire*. He shortly thereafter moved into producing plays, and in 1963 formed the Playwrights Union with Albee and co-producer Richard Barr, with the aim of encouraging new dramatists. Beginning with *Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?*, Wilder and Barr produced many of Albee's plays on Broadway. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
