Plymouth Antiquarian Society presents:Revolutionary Voices, Part II: Independency
A Staged Dramatic Reading of a Full-Length Play in Two Acts, produced in cooperation with the Mercy Otis Warren Society
What happens when ordinary citizens are called to judge loyalty in a time of war?
Revolutionary Voices, Part II: Independency brings audiences into the heart of Plymouth during the American Revolution…not on the battlefield, but on the homefront, where the conflict was just as real, and often more personal. This production examines the motivations of Plymouth’s leading Patriots and Loyalists, revealing a town divided by principle, fear, and conscience.
Through vivid dialogue drawn from the historical record, the play explores how neighbors turned against one another, families were strained or broken, and the Plymouth Town Meeting was forced to make difficult, lasting decisions about how to confront Loyalist dissent. At its core, this is a story about the challenge of preserving liberty while maintaining justice.
Performed in full period-correct costume by an experienced cast, this immersive dramatic reading unfolds across two acts (running just under two hours, with intermission). Written by Dr. Patrick Browne, Executive Director of the Plymouth Antiquarian Society, this production builds on last year’s successful short play, it is not necessary to have seen Part I to this new, stand-alone work.
Performances will be held at the historic 1820 Court House (Town Hall), located at 26 Court Street in Plymouth, Massachusetts, with a matinee at 3:00 pm and an evening performance at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $20 per person.
This is history at its most human…where ideals collide, and a town must decide not only what Independency means, but how far it is willing to go to uphold it.
