Gertrude, or Would she Be Pleased to Receive It?
A work of musical theater written by Wilford Leach, the play is narrated by an Angel and follows the adventures of the title character, loosely based on Gertrude Stein, through a windy walk with her dog Ernest and her friend Isadora Duncan and to an arboretum. Leach described the play (in the show’s program) as “a valentine, specifically to the memory of Gertrude Stein” but not “a literal portrait.” The piece was part of the ETC Company’s first 5-Play Repertory.
