EDWARD ALBEE'STHREE TALL WOMENDirected by Diana LeBlanc
This production includes strong language.
JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU KNOW SOMEONE . . .
By turns acerbic, anguished and sarcastically funny, an old woman known to us only as “A” lays bare her inner life in sometimes shocking detail to two others: a middle-aged caregiver identified only as “B” and a young legal professional, “C.”
Originally programmed for our 2020 season, Albee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, which he called an “exorcism” of his own troubled relationship with his adoptive mother, is a profound meditation on aging, death and the very nature of the self: who are we really, and how do we become who we are?
In keeping with our pandemic precautions, we present the play's two parts – the second of which brings a startlingly different take on its characters – as separate performances, scheduled to be seen on the same day.
Due to the intense nature of the play we regret that we are unable to re-admit anyone exiting during the performance. A TV monitor and audio receiver will be available in the lobby to view the remainder of the performance.
