Meeting F. Scott Fitzgerald, a one man play starring
Larry Vanderveen, tells the story of the great novelist's life and works and the fascinating people who passed through his world like the characters in his novels.
In a riveting 80 minutes of powerful theatre, Scott relives his turbulent love affair with his wife Zelda, his complicated relationship with Ernest Hemingway and his final romance with Hollywood Gossip columnist Sheilah Graham.
It's a compelling human drama rich with laughter and tears that come into all lives but which bounced back and forth in Scott Fitzgerald's life with a force that challenged his very being. Audiences leave each performance deeply moved and with a new and greater understanding of Fitzgerald the man. But most of all they leave supremely entertained.
