A Dinner Party during the Second World War Unites Celebrated Writers Agatha Christie, Lillian Hellman, Dorothy Parker, Gertrude Stein, and Alice B. Toklas – with a Mysterious Guest.
In the midst of the Second World War, a dinner party brings together a remarkable group of celebrated writers: Agatha Christie, Lillian Hellman, Dorothy Parker, Gertrude Stein, and Alice B. Toklas. Amidst the backdrop of copious alcohol, sharp-tongued barbs, and the looming threat of global conflict, the guests, along with the world around them, teeter on the edge of chaos. Each person harbours a confession, and someone holds a secret. Set in the picturesque French Alps in 1940, Steven Carl McCasland's Little Wars is an enthralling, entertaining, and ultimately moving portrait of seven exceptional women. This captivating fiction is based on actual events. The play underwent workshopping Off-Off-Broadway, making its debut in 2015, and received an acclaimed digital premiere in 2020, featuring talented actors such as Linda Bassett, Sarah Solemani, Juliet Stevenson, and Sophie Thompson. This production offers a glorious opportunity for an all-female cast to portray some of the greatest literary figures of the twentieth century.
