Details

The first world war is over, but some battles still rage on. The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway's first major novel, follows a group of weary, aimless and frequently inebriated American expatriates searching for identity, redemption and diversion in Europe. Told with spare and tightly written prose, Hemingway's story winds its way through France and Spain and lands in Pamplona where bullfighting and the fiesta rage in the streets. In this world premiere staging from acclaimed New York ensemble Elevator Repair Service, Hemingway's novel comes to life on a stage littered with liquor bottles and cafe chairs. Duration 3hrs 15mins.
