Actor in a Supporting Role (Aaron Snook) • Actress in a Supporting Role (Georgann Charuhas)

On a lonely beach, Nancy and Charlie grapple with their retirement. They are joined by another couple, Sarah and Leslie, and a fascinating double date, of sorts, takes off, with the two couples — one human and one reptilian — engaged in spirited discussions of the nature of relationships, emotions and evolution. Playwright Edward Albee won his second Pulitzer Prize for this work in 1975.
