⭐ ALL-STAR CAST ANNOUNCED FOR DIGITAL REVIVAL OF STEVEN CARL MCCASLAND’S LITTLE WARS ⭐
Multi award-winning stage and screen actress Juliet Stevenson (Truly, Madly, Deeply) leads an all-star female cast in the online revival of Steven Carl McCasland’s dinner party drama, Little Wars.
Joining Stevenson will be Linda Bassett (East is East), Debbie Chazen (The Girls), Natasha Karp (Rags), Catherine Russell (Holby City), Sarah Solemani (Him & Her), and Sophie Thompson (Present Laughter).
Bringing together six exceptional women, Little Wars unites literary figureheads Gertrude Stein (Bassett), her girlfriend Alice Toklas (Russell), Dorothy Parker (Chazen), Lillian Hellman (Stevenson) and Agatha Christie (Thompson), with anti-fascist freedom fighter Muriel Gardiner (Solemani), in the most fantastical what-if dinner party imaginable. 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.
The entire cast and creative team are raising money in aid of Women For Refugee Women, a cause that remains close to their values, and the underlying message of the play.
Previously workshopped Off-Off Broadway, this acclaimed play makes its digital premiere.
Directed by Hannah Chissick (Pack of Lies) the new production will be filmed and made available to download and stream online, in collaboration with Southwark’s The Union Theatre.
Alongside the streaming, GingerQuiff Media will be collaborating with Drink the iNK for a new pre-show conversation series, Open Creative Process, allowing audiences full-access into the creative process of making digital theatre – from start to finish.
What a line-up! ! !
