At the beginning of the show, one woman is the lawyer, one is the paid caregiver, and the other one isthe matriarch. But after the transformation, they are all the same woman, the playwright's mother, at three different ages.
But are they all supposed to be his mother even at the beginning? Or do they transform?

I’m certainly no Albee expert, but the way I interpreted it... Act 1 is the real world where they’re the three different characters that we see. Then, when she has a stroke, we see (in Act 2) a sort of dream/purgatory world where she’s reflecting on her life. That’s why we can still see her son visiting her in bed, in the “real world” that’s still existing on the other side of the glass.
