Three Tall Women is a beautifully wrought portrait of a woman in life's final act, and is Albee's most personal work

Reviews

  • And yet, as performed by three sterling actors of three generations — Glenda Jackson, Laurie Metcalf and Alison Pill Albee’s biting analysis of the dark undertow of human experience, the gradual awakening to the knowledge that life’s progress does not necessarily lead to serene contentment, has a bracing power that stiffens your spine, even as you blink away tears.
  • This lean, transfixing, 1994 Pulitzer Prize-winning drama essentially restarted the career of Edward Albee, who had experienced a long string of critical and commercial flops in the three decades since “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” The play is receiving its first Broadway production under the tight direction of Joe Mantello. All things considered, this is probably the best revival of an Albee play since Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?with Kathleen Turner and Bill Irwin in 2005.
  • Her jaw thrust forward like a prow, her elfin eyes belying her regal bearing, her wide-screen mouth wrapping itself around those slashing, implacable consonants — they’re all exactly as you remember them and want them to be. Or if you’ve never experienced them, welcome to the pleasure. Either way, Glenda Jackson is back; even better, she’s back in a role that’s big enough to need her.
