Edward Albee, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Playwright, Dies at 88

(NEW YORK) — Three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Edward Albee has died in suburban New York City at age 88.

Albee challenged theatrical convention in masterworks such as "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "A Delicate Balance."

Albee assistant Jackob Holder says the playwright died Friday at his home on Long Island. No cause of death has been given.

Albee had been arguably America's greatest living playwright after the deaths of Arthur Miller and August Wilson in 2005.
