I can't imagine why they would be ostracized. "Three Tall Women" is a superb, late masterpiece by one of the US's greatest playwrights of the last sixty plus years. I saw the original and the recent revival and it spoke to me deeply at very different stages of my life (and, yes, as a gay man). In its own chiseled way, it is, for my money, as great an achievement as "Angels in America" (which I also love--I have come to appreciate "Perestroika" more over the years, but was overwhelmed by "Millennium Approaches" from the start). It's not like, to pull another example, the year they gave the award to "Lost in Yonkers" (itself a very good, if hardly innovative play) over "Six Degrees of Separation" (a masterpiece, IMO) or when "Love! Valour! Compassion" wasn't even a finalist.
