Edward Albee, whose slashing play “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” shocked Broadway in 1962 and catapulted him to the front-ranks of the American theater, has died.

He was 88, and died in his sleep at his home in Montauk, L.I.

George and Martha, the lead characters in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” became literature’s most famous warring married couple.

The play was so controversial in its time, it was denied the Pulitzer Prize.

Albee later won three Pulitzers — for “A Delicate Balance,” “Seascape” and “Three Tall Women.”
