A Stunning and Lyrical Meditation on Growing Old

Three Tall Women is Edward Albee's third play to win the Pulitzer Prize for drama. It may be the best play that Albee has written. It balances his trademark ambiguity (dialogue and scenes that seem almost realistic but veer slightly off kilter, into a reality that has sharp and painful edges) with a heartbreaking poetry composed 99% of the ordinary language we all use every day. Three women sit in a bedsitting room: a well-off...

A Triumph--Albee's Best

It's unusual for a playwright to produce his or her best work in late-career, but that's what Albee has done in *Three Tall Women.* The essence of Albee's genius has long been his ability to get language to do what he wants, rather than being constrained by what language wants to do. But in *Three Tall Women*, unlike in *Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf*, there's something urgent and concrete at stake: what, exactly, was the...

There is no denying.

A very remarkable life experience shared through the self. I love Albee. Such a fluid writer. Willing to expose s--t and anguish and self-loathing and nostaglia and laugh about it.

But at three different times in their own life. What comes is a moving sweep of life, as...

Unbeleivable depth and feeling!

I have been studying the plays of Edward Albee, for three months. This play and the Zoo Story have me think about life and self, more then anything I have read in years. Albee is able to portray in an unsual way his true feelings about his background as well as his atitude towards the characters that he portrays. I want his plays to go on and on! The characters are very real, and for the most part very sad.Life goes on in...

Albee's best work since "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?".

This play has imaginatively captured a lifetime of struggles one woman experiences, depicted as three women as the same woman in different ages in her life. Albee uses believable situations that are all easily relatable, emphasizing how we deal with our problems and how we deal with ourselves. I would recommend this play for theatergoers, novel readers and especially students of the theater. "Three Tall Women" should sit...
