The Winter Gift, a play written by Tim Davies and directed by Nerys Rees about the life of
Louise Brooks, is being staged at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. The play runs August 22 through August 27. Tickets and a little more information HERE.
"Berlin, 1928 – a fun-loving
young American actress and a straight-laced German film director come
together to make a classic of the silent screen, Pandora’s Box. New
York, 1955 – a solitary, alcoholic, penniless and forgotten idol of the
silent screen languishes in a slum tenement. She expects visits only
from the rent collector. One day, there is a knock at the door – someone
has found Louise Brooks, and it isn't the rent collector. The Winter
Gift uses original sources to tell the story of Louise Brooks, GW Pabst,
Pandora’s Box... and what happened afterwards."
