PAST REVIEWS

“The show gripped me from the beginning to the end.”

“A phenomenal piece of art…by the perfect actor for the job.”

“I drove home in silence after the show, contemplating life, existence, and purpose. It was heart-wrenching, inspiring, and painfully relevant. I’d recommend it to both young and old. You don’t need to know Hemingway – you just need to be human. David’s portrayal of Hemingway wasn’t just a performance; it was a mirror held up to the soul.”
