Mr. Albee's play is written in the theatre-of-the- absurd style, which is void of form and explanation, and relies purely on symbolism. For this reason alone, the Speech II class, chose to perform and present THE SANDBOX. At top, clockwise: Eunice Bickel, as Mommy, and Robert Warnick, Daddy, contemplate a day at the beach. Daddy and Grandma played by Laurie Bock, find they have nothing in common. At right, Mel Braeutigam, delivers the 'kiss of death' to Grandma, at the conclusion of the play.
