Brian
Gordon Sinclair is considered to be the foremost dramatic
interpreter of Ernest Hemingway in the world today. Brian is
the author of a six play epic detailing and illuminating the
life and literature of Ernest Hemingway in equal measures.
The plays are written under the overall title of Hemingway
On Stage: The Road to Freedom and each play, in sequence,
has its own unique title: Sunrise – The Early Years, The
Lost Generation, Death in the Afternoon, The Man-Eaters, The
Death Factory and In Deadly Ernest. These plays provide an
intimate insight into the circumstances which shaped the
famed author’s life and inspired him in his writing. They
are must-see productions for anyone intrigued by the life
and death of Ernest Hemingway.
Hemingway’s HOT Havana is a separate,
special edition play created primarily as a rousing
adventure tale. Presented originally, in part, in Havana
before an invited audience that included Sir Terence Conran
and his wife (who graciously played the part of the bear),
the play is intended to function as a stand-alone
performance.
“Sinclair masterfully cedes the stage to
Hemingway and the author’s multifaceted personality…He
understands Hemingway’s strengths as well as vulnerabilities
and does him justice…He (Sinclair) reaches into the writer’s
soul and becomes him.”

the Sea.
