Young Albee
This photo of a young Edward Albee has been highly influential to Court’s production of Three Tall Women. In the play, a character appears who speaks no lines, and is known only as the “Boy.” Nevertheless, his role in the play is pivotal; the character has been implicitly acknowledged by Albee to be a version of the playwright himself. In our production, the Boy is played by Joel Gross, who has the challenging task of communicating an ocean of history and emotion without any text.
Joel Gross, far right, as Dakin in TimeLine’s 2009 production of Alan Bennett’s The History Boys:
Three Tall Women runs January 12, 2011 through February 13, 2011 at Court Theatre.
