The Comedy Theatre will host the world premiere of dramatic new musical, Too Close To The Sun, which runs for a limited eight week season in the West End this summer.
Offering a fictional account of the last year in the life of author and Nobel Prize-winner Ernest Hemingway, Too Close To The Sun, follows Hemingway as he battles the rigours of old age, taking solace in the company of his young secretary.
His wife, tolerating this liaison so as not to lose him, is aware that the secretary has a secret agenda: to become wife number five and inherit his estate. The arrival of Hemingway's old school friend, Rex, adds a further complication as he tries to secure the film rights to the life of the notorious writer.
With bribery, lies and manipulation, Rex plays a dangerous game to achieve his goal, but in this suggested account of events leading to Hemingway’s death, can there be any winners?
