This 7th monologue is a stand-alone production separate from the first six monologues which are chronological.

Hemingway’s HOT Havana is a bold, rousing, adventure tale brought to life by author, director and master storyteller, Brian Gordon Sinclair.

The photo at left, shot on location in Cuba by famed photographer Sven Creutzmann, shows Brian Gordon Sinclair in Hemingway’s favourite bar and restaurant in Cojimar with dancing girls, musicians and, of course, daiquiris. The bar, La Terraza, became part of the novella The Old Man and the Sea.

Hemingway’s HOT Havana is a superb one-actor show that will make you believe that Ernest Hemingway is standing right there in front of you.
