More than 45 years after his death, Ernest Hemingway is one of the most widely read and written about American authors.  His distinct style and profound influence are indisputable.  His larger-than-life persona is still the stuff of heated debate.  Join Richard Clark as he portrays one of America’s most celebrated authors in a new production by B.L. Walker.
