''Finding the Sun'' is a one-act play by American playwright Edward Albee. ==Productions== It was written in 1983 under commission for the University of Northern Colorado and first performed there in May 1983 with Albee directing. It was next performed at the University of California-Irvine (may 1984) and the University of Houston (1984).〔Horn, Barbara Lee. ("'Finding the Sun'" ) ''Edward Albee: A Research and Production Sourcebook'', Greenwood Publishing Group, 2003, ISBN 0313311412, pp. 43-44〕 Albee postponed the New York debut of the play because, as he noted, another play, ''Coastal Disturbances'' opened in 1987 with a beach setting. He did not want anyone to think that his play was influenced by the other.〔Albee, Edward.

The plays ran from February 4, 1994 to March 6, 1994. Directed by Albee, the cast was John Carter (Hendon), Brendan Corbalis (Daniel), Monique Fowler (Cordelia), Cheryl Gaysunas (Abigail), Bethel Leslie (Gertrude), Neil Maffin (Benjamin), Mary Beth Peil (Edmee), and James Van Der Beek (Fergus).〔("'Finding the Sun' 1994" ) lortel.org, accessed November 22, 2015〕 The play was produced in London at the National Theatre, Cottesloe Theatre, in a double bill with ''Marriage Play'', in May 2001.
