Synopsis

The Fifth Column , Hemingway's only full-length play, is a moving portrait of the effects of war on soldiers, civilians, and the correspondents sent to cover it.

Written in 1937, while Hemingway was in Madrid as a correspondent for the North American Newspaper Alliance, the play was recently revived for the New York theatre.

This edition can be easily used in stage productions.
