 Three
Tall Women
Winner of the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for best play, as well as a
number of other prestigious awards, Three Tall Woman has been called Albee's
finest achievement. In his triumphant return to the New York and London stages, Albee
demonstrates insight and vision with a moving look at mortality. "Stunning . . .
nuanced and breathtaking." -TIME
"Albee's best plays have always walked a line between
heightened realism and dark comedy. Even his most surreal works are populated with
characters who wouldn't seem out of place in real life. His 1994 Pulitzer Prize winner
runs true to form. It begins as a naturalistic conversation among three women (identified
as A, B, and C) from successive generations who meet in a hospital room. Each is
undergoing a change from one life phase to another, and each faces her travails and
disappointments with lots of Albee's trademark bitter wit. In the second act, however, the
three women become representatives of the same person at different ages (26, 52, late
80s), and their bickering talk becomes a touching internal colloquy about life, love, and
the inevitability of loss. Not since Beckett's brooding meditation Krapp's Last Tape
has a playwright dealt so movingly with the subject of disappointment, aging, and
death." (From Booklist

Who's
Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Play in three acts by Edward Albee, published and produced in
1962. The action takes place in the living room of a middle-aged couple, George and
Martha, who have come home from a faculty party drunk and quarrelsome. When Nick, a young
biology professor, and his strange wife Honey stop by for a nightcap, they are enlisted as
fellow fighters, and the battle begins. A long night of malicious games, insults,
humiliations, betrayals, painful confrontations, and savage witticisms ensues. The secrets
of both couples are laid bare and illusions are viciously exposed. When, in a climactic
moment, George decides to "kill" the son they have invented to compensate for
their childlessness, George and Martha finally face the truth and, in a quiet ending to a
noisy play, stand together against the world, sharing their sorrow. (The Merriam-Webster
Encyclopedia of Literature , April 1, 1995)
