From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 The Man Who Had Three Arms is a two-act play for three actors by Edward Albee. The play ran briefly on Broadway in 1983.

The play premiered on Broadway at the Lyceum Theatre on April 5, 1983, and closed on April 17, 1983, after 8 previews and 16 performances. Directed by Albee the cast featured Robert Drivas as "Himself", Patricia Kilgarriff as "The Woman" and William Prince as "The Man".

Frank Rich reviewing the production for The New York Times wrote that it "isn't a play - it's a temper tantrum in two acts... One of the more shocking lapses of Mr. Albee's writing is that he makes almost no attempt even to pretend that Himself is anything other than a maudlin stand-in for himself, with the disappearing arm representing an atrophied talent.

The play ran for only 16 performances, at least one of which was booed during the curtain call. Albee did not have another new play performed in New York City for the next 11 years. He would later insist that, of his many plays, The Man Who Had Three Arms was "the most excoriated of all (by critics, not by audiences)" yet it "remains one of my favorites."^[
