Synopsis

"The play begins just after the death of Gertrude Stein.

Her ghost returns to Alice B. Toklas and the genesis and development of their relationship is richly portrayed.

Mr. Wells has truly captured the feeling, art, music and literature of Paris of those years, when Pablo and Ernest and Henri and all of Gertrude's friends spent their free time in the great writer's salon.

This play is a director's dream.

It flits back and forth in time as the actors play not only Gertrude and Alice but a host of famous people who were part of their lives."--Publisher's website.
