Why have I not heard of this theatrical lesbian?
This is an amazing play about Eva Le Gallienne, a queer writer, director, and producer, who founded the Civic Repertory Theater in NYC in the 1920s with the dream of brining theater to the people. Also she had so many affairs. Incredible production. Highly recommend.
