Synopsis:

Little Wars is set in the French Alps in 1940 on the night that France falls
to German control. A dinner party is taking place that unites celebrated
writers Agatha Christie Lillian Hellman, Dorothy Parker, Gertrude Stein and
Alice B. Toklas-with a mysterious guest. As the play progresses, confessions
are made and secrets are revealed.  Although the play is fictional, it is
based on truth and brings up questions that are relevant today.

conventional.  American.
