On the verge of retirement, Nancy and Charlie escape to the beach for some rest and relaxation. But their holiday is interrupted when a pair of pensive sea creatures emerges from the surf. In one of Edward Albee's most critical works, the unlikely foursome explores the meaning of existence, evolution, and tolerance as the characters wade through the differences and similarities between their respective species. Incorporating elements of comedy, satire, and absurdism, this Pulitzer Prize-winning play challenges audiences to question the ideas of understanding and empathy where none may exist and progress and expansion where none may be possible...all in a day at the beach.

“A play of great density, with many interesting emotional and intellectual reverberations”    -The New York Times, Clive Barnes
