The Actor’s Collaborative Toledo presents “Lilian”

The late Lillian Hellman is remembered for many things— her impressive dramatic talents, writing the 1939 dramatic play The Little Foxes, the far-left sympathies that got her blacklisted by the House Committee on Un-American Activities, her romantic relationship with Dashiell Hammett, the author of detective novels like The Maltese Falcon, who was later arrested for ties to the Communist party— but the way she is remembered is as varied as her storied history. Hear her own version of the story during the Actor’s Collaborative Toledo’s presentation of “Lillian” by William Luce. Based on her autobiographical writings, this sensitive, revealing portrait is told in a one-woman show starring Barbara Barkan. Directed by Paul Causman. $20. 7pm, reception. 8pm, show. Saturday, May 20.
