Albee wuxuu u guuray New York's Greenwich Village, halkaas oo uu isku taageeray shaqooyin aan caadi ahayn inta uu baranayey inuu qoro riwaayado. Ugu horreyntii riwaayadiisii hore, shaqada Albee waxay ka koobnayd matalaadyo kala duwan oo ka mid ah bulshada LGBTQIA oo inta badan caqabad ku ah muuqaalka guurka khaniisiinta. In kasta oo uu caqabad ku yahay aragtida bulshada ee ku saabsan bulshada khaniisiinta ah, isagu iskuma arkin inuu yahay u doodaha LGBT. Shaqada Albee waxay caadi ahaan dhaleeceysay riyadii Mareykanka. Riwaayadiisii ugu horreysay, Sheekada Zoo, oo la qoray saddex toddobaad gudahood, ayaa markii ugu horreysay lagu soo bandhigay magaalada Berlin sanadkii 1959 ka hor inta aan ugu dambeyntii la soo bandhigin Broadway sanadkii 1960. Riwaayadiisii xigay, Dhimashada Bessie Smith, ayaa si la mid ah loogu soo bandhigay magaalada Berlin ka hor inta uusan imaan New York. Sida ku xusan riwaayaddii ugu caansan ee Albee, Yaa ka cabsanaya Virginia Woolf?
