Seascape is a two-act play by American playwright Edward Albee. He completed it in 1974, having first developed it in 1967 as a short play named Life, the first half of a projected double bill with another play called Death (which later became All Over). [1] Seascape won the 1975 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
The list of winners and the citations accompanying the award, are taken from the Pulitzer Prize website. [3] Fiction: The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara ; Drama: Seascape by Edward Albee ; History: Jefferson and His Time, Vols. I-V by Dumas Malone ; Biography or Autobiography:
A member of the Dramatists Guild Council, Albee received three Pulitzer Prizes for drama—for A Delicate Balance (1967), Seascape (1975), and Three Tall Women (1994). Albee was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1972. [44] In 1985, Albee was inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame. [45]

American poet Robert Frost received the Pulitzer Prize four times from 1924 to 1943. William Allen White received the Pulitzer Prize twice but in two different categories: Journalism in 1923 for an editorial writing and posthumously in 1947 in the category Books, Drama, and Music for his autobiography.
A three-member panel nominated three books, which were then sent to the 20-member Pulitzer Prize Board. Because no book received a majority of the votes from the board members, no prize was given. [3] This was the first time since 1977, and the eleventh time in Pulitzer history that there was no winner in the fiction category.
