Join an all-star cast for a digital revival of an exceptional play which resonates deeply at this time. Includes post-show live Q&A and a glass of wine at the door.
Multi-award winning Juliet Stevenson (Truly, Madly Deeply; The Doctor, Almeida; Blindness, Donmar Warehouse) leads the cast of Steven Carl McCasland’s dinner party drama, Little Wars. Joining Stevenson will be Linda Bassett (Call the Midwife; East is East), Debbie Chazen (The Smoking Room; The Girls, West End), Natasha Karp (Rags, Park Theatre; The Kite Runner, West End), Catherine Russell (Holby City; What the Butler Saw, Curve Theatre), Sarah Solemani (Him & Her; Bad Education) and Sophie Thompson (Feel Good; Present Laughter, Old Vic).
Set in 1940’s France on the eve of Nazi Occupation, the play brings together six exceptional women in the most fantastical what-if dinner party imaginable. Little Wars unites literary figureheads Gertrude Stein (Bassett), Alice B. Toklas (Russell), Dorothy Parker (Chazen), Lillian Helman (Stevenson), and Agatha Christie (Thompson) with anti-fascist freedom fighter Muriel Gardiner (Soleimani). Tensions are high and secrecy lingers in the air, but with libations flowing and the threat of World War II looming the guests are close to boiling point. An intimate, witty, fly-on -the -wall glimpse into a nostalgic fiction based on truths.
