Boothbay Harbor, Me., Playhouse: Early lonesco: The Bald Soprano and The Lesson...
...this would be rather silly if it did not discredit serious experimental drama. Some of the work of Eugene Ionesco and Edward Albee will almost certainly become established in the repertory of genuine comedy.

He thought of God as "overtruth" and "the overwisdom"-phrases that would not be out of place in the Systematic Theology of Paul Tillich.* In the manner of a Biblical demythologist...
