"Edward Albee has converted Carson McCullers' strange, tender prose poem, The Ballad of the Sad Cafe, into a play flecked with weird, halting poetry. Their art has joined to reveal the terrible and dim face of a shattered unnatural love" (The New York Times). "A shimmering poem of dark beauty" (Emory Lewis).
