Ernest Hemingway News

When last we left The Mint Theater, that extraordinary collective of theatre archivists that specialize in mounting first-class Off-Broadway productions of time-obscured plays by still-famous names, they were teaching many New Yorkers that Leo Tolstoy took a crack at playwrighting once with his grim drama, The Power of Darkness.  Now they're surprising those who didn't know that even Ernest Hemingway was represented on Broadway once with The Fifth Column, which premiered at the Alvin in March of 1940 and logged in 87 performances.

Due to unprecedented demand, the Drama Desk and Obie Award-wining Mint Theater Company Premiere of The Fifth Column by Ernest Hemingway-not the dramatization of a novel or story-but a drama written for the stage by one of America's most celebrated authors, will be extending for two additional weeks, now through May 18th.

The Drama Desk and Obie Award-wining Mint Theater Company will present the long-delayed premiere production of The Fifth Column by Ernest Hemingway-not the dramatization of a novel or story-but a drama written for the stage by one of America's most celebrated authors. Performances begin February 26th, and continue through May 4th.
