FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Three Tall Women

Three Tall Women
10 / 10

As A, B and C confront their various self-images, illusions and memories, the monster of Act One yields to our deeper understanding of who she has been. What makes Albee's play so moving is not that all three are the same woman; it's that all three of them are us. Together, they create a singular experience at the theater.

Three Tall Women review – Glenda Jackson's astounding return to Broadway
8 / 10

Existential dread comes very well-upholstered in the Broadway revival of Edward Albee's dismaying and luxurious Three Tall Women. This is probably Albee's most personal play, a barbed-wire wreath laid at the grave of his adoptive mother, but he has filtered his experience through an absurdist lens. The play's vision of life aligns with Beckett's: darkness on one side, darkness on the other, some pain and disappointment in the middle. 'That's it,' one character says. 'You start and then you stop. Don't be so soft.'
