Publisher's summary

New York City, 1932: Eva Le Gallienne is trying to save her theatre company from the jaws of the Depression by mounting an innovative new production of Alice in Wonderland. She agrees to give a radio interview for the sake of publicity, but while revisiting the moments that shaped her career, she struggles with the need to keep a significant secret: she and her leading lady are in love. As Eva’s work careens toward catastrophe, she fights to preserve her dream of a people’s theatre—but will she destroy the people she loves in the process? The true story of one of the 20th century’s most remarkable artists, The Queen of Fourteenth Street reverberates powerfully today, as the American theatre faces an uncertain future and LGBTQ rights are once again under attack.

A new play that shimmers with life

Beautifully written, and performed by an entertaining, and versatile company of actors, this play captures the fullness of a great actor’s life. Little known now, but influential in her time, Eva Le Gallienne is brought to gorgeous, vivid life by Barrie Kreinik who not only wrote this play, but plays Le Gallienne. A landmark achievement in this medium, I can only hope that more stories like these are on the way. Bravi tutti!

Deeply moving, funny, and wildly entertaining

I savored every moment of this beautifully executed play. Every word was beautiful chosen by Barrie Kreinik and every word was beautifully executed by this incredible ensemble. Don’t pass on this one. It’s not just simply a treat, but it’s nourishing storytelling that you will continue to think about long after you’ve listened to it. Enjoy!
