| Description |
 The Eureka Theater,
C.A.F.E., and chayescene productions
Present John DeGroot's Papa
June 16th-July 8th, 2006
What: The Pulitzer Prize winner John DeGroot's script about Ernest Hemingway in his twilight years uses Hemingway's own words to vividly paint a revealing picture of a truly iconic figure.
" . . . deGroot's Hemingway is magnificent . . . spellbinding piece of work . . . this brilliant play . . . revalatory . . ." -CHICAGO TRIBUNE
The audience gets a press pass to Papa Hemingway's Cuban home as he recounts his past and allows an up front and personal exchange that sets this play apart from other solo performances. The Actor; Adrian Sparks (Shown), portraying Papa Hemingway both bears a striking resemblance to, and fully embodies the famous figure in spirit.
" . . . In this near perfect fusion of Actor and material, Sparks is unfailingly brilliant . . ." -LOS ANGELES TIMES
The Play comes to the Eureka from an Ovation award winning run in Los Angeles and is directed by Martha Demson of Los Angeles' Open Fist Theater Company. The set is magically filled with actual, as well as perfect replicas of Papa Hemingway's own memorabilia from African spears to a Cape Buffalo head, and it all works to immediately transport the viewer to the desired time and place.
". . . rarely does one witness a performer so fully inhabiting the skin of an historical figure . . . " -BACKSTAGE WEST
