He was more myth than man. His fiction was more plausible than his life. The four women, whom he would love, marry, and abandon knew him better than he knew himself. His name was Ernest Hemingway, perhaps the most famous writer of the 20th century. This May, theater goers on the seacoast will be the first to see Hemingway's Wife, an original musical which tells Hemingway's life story through his relationship with the women in his life.
Book, music, and lyrics by Erin Murray Quinlan, Hemingway's Wife is very special - a lovely, sweet, powerful, and funny musical about one of the 20th Century's most complicated figures. It has been workshopped for the last two years at the legendary Lehman Engle Musical Theater Workshop in New York City.
Hemingway's Wife spans over four decades and across five continents. It features an esteemed cast of some of the best theatrical talent in the area. A CD of the play's beautiful original score will be recorded in mid-May, and will be available for purchase in the Players' Ring lobby. An online campaign seeking funding for this ambitious production, and offering a variety of perks to contributors, has been established at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hemingway-s-wife/x/10517525.
