Greg Evans on Albee's use of characterization in Three Tall Women:
[In Three Tall Women Albee provides] each "character" with all the dignity and indignity of their respective ages. Youth is both charmingly dreamy and maddeningly disdainful; the 52-year-old, while boasting that middle age is "the only time you get a 360-degree view," doesn't like what she sees on either side: and the old woman is by terms resigned to and anguished by her disintegration.
Greg Evans, in a review of Three Tall Women, in Variety, 14 February 1994.
