In the more than 75 plays Gertrude Stein wrote between 1913 and
1946, she envisioned a new dramaturgy, beginning with the pictorial
conception of a play as a landscape. She drew into her plays the
daily flow of life around her - including the natural world - and
turned cities, villages, parts of the dramatic structure, and even
her own friends into characters. She made punctuation and
typography part of her compositional style and chose words for
their joyful impact as sound and wordplay. For Stein, the writing
process itself was always important in developing the "continuous
present" at the heart of her work. "Last Operas and Plays" contains
many of Stein's most important and most-produced works. As a
special feature, it also includes her essay "Plays", in which she
reflects on the experience in the theatre of seeing and hearing,
and on emotion and time.
