Article
Annotation
Examines the failed production and subsequent negative critical reception of Hemingway’s only play. Offers remedies through specific design and staging elements, which foreground Hemingway’s thematic preoccupation with love and war. Proposes a production predicated on the use of Philip’s and Dorothy’s rooms as visible manifestations of war and gender binaries to illustrate Hemingway’s message that there is no victory without sacrifice.
