France, 1940. Tensions are high. The booze is flowing. WW2 is raging. The coolest women on earth are having the what-if dinner party of your dreams. A dinner party during the Second World War unites celebrated writers Agatha Christie, Lillian Hellman, Dorothy Parker, Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas – with a mysterious guest. With copious booze flowing, acid-tongued barbs flying, and the threat of global conflict looming, the guests – and the world around them – are close to boiling point. Everyone has a confession. Someone has a secret. Set in the French Alps in 1940, Steven Carl McCasland’s Little Wars is an enthralling, entertaining and ultimately moving portrait of seven exceptional women – and a thrilling fiction based on truth. Following Friday's performance there will be an After Dark session which is an opportunity to meet members of the cast and creative team to discuss the production.
