Fells Point Corner Theatre Presents THREE TALL WOMEN, 9/16-10/16August 31, 2011Earning a Pulitzer and three Best Play awards for 1994, Edward Albee has, in Three Tall Women, created a masterwork of modern theatre. As an imperious, acerbic old woman lies dying, she is tended by two other women and visited by a young man. Albee's frank dialogue about everything from incontinence to infidelity portrays aging without sentimentality. His scenes are charged with the most amazing wit, pain and laughter. His probing portrait of the three women reveals Albee's genius. These 'tall women' lay bare the truths of our lives: how we live, how we love, what we settle for, and how we die.
