Easter Rising (also known as the Easter Rebellion) was an armed insurrection that took place in Ireland during Easter Week in 1916. Mounted by Irish republicans, it ended British rule and establish an independent Irish Republic. Organized by seven members of the Military Council of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, the rising was led by schoolmaster and activist Patrick Pearse.

This one-man two-act play premiered, after several delays, in Key West, Florida, in 2009. It examines another phase in the life of Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway. From the joys of absinthe to the appeal of Ava Gardner, Ernest Hemingway turns to the exotic temptations of China and his third wife, Martha Gellhorn. Back in Cuba, he chases U-boats and tracks Nazi spies as a prelude to the European war and flying missions with the Royal Air Force. Whether commanding French freedom fighters or liberating the Ritz Hotel in Paris, Ernest manages to encounter Sylvia Beach, Marlene Dietrich, Pablo Picasso and Mary Welsh (later to become his fourth wife). While serving in "the death factory" that is World War Two, his emotional resources are strained when his first born son is taken prisoner by the Nazis.

With The Hemingway Monologues Brian Gordon Sinclair gives us an intimate insight into the circumstances that shaped the famed author's life and inspired him in his writing. Death in the Afternoon is the third in this seven-play series that traces Hemingway's chronology from birth to death. Brian Gordon Sinclair is considered to be "the foremost dramatic interpreter of Ernest Hemingway in the world today." (Stratford-upon-Avon Herald, UK)
