Gertrude Stein and a Companion by Win Wells is the
bittersweet telling of the love and lives of celebrated writer Gertrude Stein
and her life partner Alice Toklas. Winner of Best Play at the Edinburgh
Festival, Sydney Theatre Festival, and Vita Award for Best Play in South
Africa, this two woman show spans decades and takes on multiple figures in the
ladies’ world, from reporters and German soldiers to Hemingway and Picasso.
"The evening is a joy...Brisk, fun and literate." - Gannett Newspapers
"The interplay gives the piece a spark beyond the page. It
takes this very specific story and peels off its layers, revealing a
fascinating study in human relations, in marriage, in the science of compromise
and the art of enduring love." - Chicago Reader
