Three Tall Women by Edward Albee at New Mexico Actors Lab

Edward Albee's Three Tall Women at the NM Actors Lab

Pulitzer Prize winning Three Tall Women centers around a young lawyer, referred to only as “C,” who has been sent to the home of a client, a ninety-two-year-old woman only referred to as “A,” to sort out her finances along with the help of “B,” the woman’s caretaker. In Act Two, A, B, and C have now become the different stages of A’s life: the imperious elder, the regal matron, and the young woman of twenty-six. Her life, memories and reminiscences are laid out for display, no holds barred. She cascades from regal and charming to vicious and wretched as she remembers her life with her husband and their cold, passionless marriage, and her son and their estrangement. How did she become this? Who is she? The Wall Street Journal called this play “A dazzler…Worthy of mention in the same breath as Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and A Delicate Balance. THREE TALL WOMEN blazes as bright as a midsummer day.”
