Details

The Love Song of Alice B. Toklas is a play about the celebrated and highly original writer Gertrude Stein and her life partner Alice, author of the Alice B. Toklas Cookbook, which includes her famous recipe for Hashish Fudge. In this witty and moving play the two women remember - often very differently - the salon which they developed in Paris and their friendships with the great artists of the age - Picasso, Apollinaire, Matisse, Braque and Hemmingway. A fascinating picture of pre-war Paris, this is, above all, a portrait of an enduring relationship, the shared passions which sustained it, the jealousies and rivalries that threatened it and the profound love and companionship which underpinned it.
