Paperback edition of the beautifully produced clothbound edition published by BOA Editions in 1987. This book reproduces OPERAS & PLAYS as published in the 1932 Plain Edition.

“The theater of Gertrude Stein is as radical today as it was seventy years ago. These theatrical exercises developed into a dramaturgy stripped bare of the essentials: plot, character development, scenery, stage directions…. Among the modernist writers, Stein remains the last outpost of industrious textual explication.”—James R. Mellow
