jaleh I can't understand this sentence at all !!Edward Albee's brilliantly written Broadway revival of A Delicate Balance received wide acclaim.

Edward Albee wrote the play "A Delicate Balance" many years ago.
It was performed at that time and then not performed again for many years.
Recently, he wrote a revised version of the same play, which was performed in New York City, in a theater on a street named "Broadway". (Broadway is the theater district of New York.)
The revised version was considered to be excellent.
The journalists who write critiques of plays in the newspapers said that it was very good.

By the way, if you are reading a lot of sentences that you don't understand at all, then the text you are reading is too advanced for you at this point in your studies of English. Select texts that are easier for you so that you can build up your understanding more gradually.

You might even find it easier to read the play itself. It's a powerful piece of drama. One of the most chillingly beautiful lines is as follows:

“Everything becomes... too late, finally. You know it's going on... up on the hill; you can see the dust, and hear the cries, and the steel... but you wait; and time happens. When you do go, sword, shield... finally... there's nothing there... save rust; bones; and the wind.”
