It definitely is the play being described, and Dame Maggie was SUPREME in it, finding a rueful wit and grace - even beauty - in the part that haunts me to this day. (It was also a very strong production, scandalously underappreciated by the local critics: Peter Francis James was superb as well.) She was much better in that lesser-known Albee than she was in "A Delicate Balance," though she was brilliant in "Three Tall Women" across two separate runs.
