A cultivated friendship

John  Dennis Anderson and Karen Vuranch's play A Cultivated Friendship interweaves truth and fiction about the distinctive rapport between the American novelists Edith Wharton (Vuranch) and Louis Bromfield (Anderson).

In 1930s Paris, American novelists Edith Wharton and Louis Bromfield were unlikely friends. She was 34 years his senior, he was a Midwestern  farmer, and both were vocal about their conflicting political views.  Even so, the two expatriates formed an intimate bond that transcended  differences.

A Cultivated Friendship has been given staged readings in Truro, MA, Ashland, OH, Lenox, MA, and Provincetown, MA.
