Based on the novel "The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway.
A stage littered with liquor bottles and cafe chairs seamlessly transforms
itself from the bistros of Paris to the banks of the Irati River; a long bar
table roars to life and charges a champion matador; an out-of-control dance
party takes off during a night of nonstop revelry. As the story winds
its way through France and Spain and lands in Pamplona where bullfighting and
the fiesta rage in the streets, Hemingway’s narrator carries the heavy burdens
of a war injury and his inability to have the woman he loves; a woman whose
amorous escapades he follows with bemused but painful fatalism.
The Select (The Sun Also Rises) is a co-production of ERS and New York Theatre Workshop. Commissioned by the Ringling
International Arts Festival, John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Sarasota, FL, in association with the
Baryshnikov Arts Center, New York, NY; the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival with funding from
The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Theatre Initiative; and ArtsEmerson: the World on Stage, Boston, MA.
