This highly theatrical adaptation is loyal to Hemingway's
epic story and imaginatively turns the interior nature of the
work inside out
Act I begins five years earlier than the story, tracing Harry's development as an artist, his hard-earned literary recognition, and, ultimately, the corruption that destroys him
Act II is set in Africa and picks up where the short story itself begins
Harry, now mortally and morally sick, isolated in a remote camp on the Serengeti Plain, confronts his mortality, acknowledges his self-betrayal, and seeks salvation
This adaptation is a theatrical tour de force with strong characters and lean set requirements
