Three Tall Women

"Three Tall Women" by Edward Albee is a one-act play that explores the inner lives and relationships of three women of different ages—an elderly woman, her middle-aged self, and her younger self. Through dialogue and monologue, the play examines themes of aging, memory, regret, and identity. The play uses the metaphor of these three women—who are physically tall—to symbolize different stages of life, allowing the audience to reflect on how past experiences, personal regrets, and perceptions of self evolve over time. It’s a thought-provoking exploration of human life and its inevitable progression.
