Three Tall Women - Edward Albee

Three women in confrontation: a rich, elderly woman, her middle-aged housekeeper, and the young employee from the office that handles the old lady's affairs. Three women in concurrence: the voyage of Woman in the soul-stirring adventures of Life, given from three different stops along the way: the bright perspective of youth, the knowledge of maturity, the wisdom of the inevitable end. Three women tall, and therefore powerful, with an elusive masculine presence in the background defining their existence: the husband, the lover, and the son. In the aftermath of his youthful masterpiece 'Who's afraid of Virginia Wolf', the great American author presents this wonderful play, 'Three Tall Women', that was awarded a Pulitzer prize in 1994 and has been performed with huge success in all the theatrical capitals of the world. A play of deep maturity, masterfully created, at times hilariously funny, ironical and touching, which materializes as a gesture of reconciliation with the adventures and suffering of a lifetime, a tribute to Woman.
