Love All Alices is a feature length hybrid documentary film and full-scale theatrical piece, and Lavinia's directorial debut.

​

Love All Alices is an ensemble biographical portrait of Alice Spivak, a performance piece written with Spivak before her death, containing the greatest stories of her fascinating life. Director Lavinia Jones Wright interviewed Spivak over the course of four years, shaping monologues from her stories with the idea that Alice would perform them for a film and onstage as a solo performance. Alice passed away suddenly of a heart attack on November 9, 2020, just eleven days before the camera would roll on her movie.

​

Now, a cast of more than 50 actors performs the piece, each as a different version of Alice in her absence, narrating her greatest stories and lessons. Beginning in winter 2021, with the pain of Alice’s loss still very fresh, and culminating in a full performance on the anniversary of her death the following Fall, the cast of Love All Alices comes together to explore the process of grief through performance, the joy of honoring someone you love by embodying them, the challenge in creating a portrait of a complex, self-mythologizing person, and the universality of human experience as this diverse group of actors rehearses and performs together, personalizing the material through their shared love of Alice.
