Bitter Bierce by Mac Wellman

"Playwright Mac Wellman, who received an Obie Award for lifetime achievement in 2003, has sampled freely from Bierce's writings in his free-flowing, intellectually dazzling bio-drama."

"Bitter Bierce is an auditory feast, a truly unique theatrical event, and another Wellman tour de force."

"As we watch Wellman's play, it isn't difficult to understand why this brooding loner can still haunt and taunt his readers."

"Bitter Bierce [is] among the playwright's most direct and affecting works."

"The highly literate script, which Wellman crafted out of his own research and Bierce's writing, crackles with witty and mordant epigrams."

"As the play progresses, it becomes difficult to decipher which words are Wellman's and which belong to Bierce -- and this is good. The fusion of Mac the maker and Ambrose the subject makes Bitter Bierce the object a fascinating thing to behold."
