The fabulous cast of The Marriage of Alice B Toklas by Gertrude Stein in the Tuesday best! @gildedballoon @edfringe #gertrudestein #edfringe #edfringe2025 (fb)

Five stars! Our first review (by New York reviewer Jonathan Mandell who happens to be reviewing in Edinburgh for the first time). “A clever and often hilarious 80 minutes that nails the dizzying repetitive rhythms and crazy logic of the writer best known for “a rose is a rose is a rose.” It is also spot on in its satirical depictions of both Hemingway and Picasso, as well as quick hits on other artists, writers and intellectuals of the early twentieth century. Layered into this exercise in high brow absurdism and low brow silliness is some wide-ranging, subtly pointed commentary about artistic genius, prejudice, gender roles, relationships and the institution of marriage.” Playing at @edfringe in @gildedballoon at Patter House - Dram at 13:00. #edfringe #edfringe2025 #fivestarreview⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (fb)
