Pamplona
Jul 10 - Aug 19 in Goodman's Owen Theatre
90 minutes with no intermission
Stacy Keach triumphantly returns to the Goodman in a tour-de-force performance as legendary author Ernest Hemingway.
After the prize comes the pressure. Five years after receiving career-defining awards, Ernest Hemingway faces a looming deadline for a story about the rivalrous matadors of Pamplona. In declining health and consumed by the demise of his fourth marriage, he must now conquer the despair that threatens to engulf him.
