Acknowledged by its author as “one of his most spectacular commercial disasters”, Edward Albee’s The Man Who Had Three Arms introduces a bitter acrimonious conference speaker who encountered fame and success thanks to a now resorbed and regretted third arm. If theatre is etymologically a genre devoted to showing, Albee revels in frustrating its audience’s voyeuristic drive by limiting the presence of the mysterious appendage to the spiteful and anger-ridden monologic storytelling of a man who once used to be a freak. This paper seeks to focus on the mechanisms of linguistic inflation produced by this morphologic growth, which engages with the limits of the body – of the actor and of the text – and questions our definitions of monstrosity. |
