Playwright Ken Vose and performer Jordan Rhodes, a popular and successful actor in film and television for more than thirty years, have joined together to bring audiences an interesting, compelling and entertaining evening of theatre about Ernest Hemingway, one of our greatest literary artists. This tribute to "Papa" Hemingway, reveals a vulnerable, deeply troubled man, whose fight with his own inner demons produced some of the greatest fiction of the twentieth century.
The play begins and ends on the morning of July 2, 1961, the last day of Hemingway's life. Told in flashback, PAPA presents the triumphs and tragedies of Hemingway's fascinating life. From the battlefields of World War One, to the Paris cafes of the roaring twenties, the Spain of Civil War and bullfights, Sloppy Joe's in Key West Florida, France during World War II, fishing for Marlin and U-boats off Cuba, or on Safari in Africa, Hemingway was there.
