He was educated at Yale University and New York Theological Seminary where he respectively completed his studies in Drama and Theology. At the age of eighteen his first play, The Mummer&#8217;s Play (1965) was produced by Joseph Papp Public Theatre in New York. According to the publication the success of this production, which revealed his talent as a playwright, convinced the producer to stage his next four plays, including The Crucificado a drama set within the Hispanic community in Harlem, New York.Disillusioned with the Church, Edgar White&#8217;s interest in the relationship between man and God began to be increasingly transferred in his writings."}
