SCOTT AND HEM
Mad Anthony Theatre Company
May 12-15
Fitton Center [Hamilton]
Directed and produced by Adam Drake
Cast: Thurman Allen as Ernest Hemmingway, Peter Merten as Scott Fitzgerald & Jen Drake as Eve Montaigne
The year is 1937, and novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald is holed up in a Hollywood villa, trying to finish a screenplay and stay on the wagon while a raucous July 4th party unfolds beneath his balcony. When Ernest Hemingway enters, the real fireworks begin. Their encounter sparks a rambling conversation that ranges from alcoholism and insanity to death and homosexuality. Their egos are larger than the Hollywoodland sign outside the window. They drop names and one-liners. But for all their swagger and luster, the two writers are haunted by the nagging fear that they are out of words. Scott and Hem is a drama about the cost of love, friendship, and the price of being a writer.
