About this Event

Step back in time to experience the anxious hours before the start of the American Revolution. It's past midnight on April 19th, 1775, and Paul Revere has just left the home of Lexington's minister, Jonas Clarke, with news of an impending British attack. This leaves the home's occupants to take in the news and prepare for what is to come. In a series of three short plays by playwright Debbie Wiess, see how John Hancock and Samuel Adams, leaders of the Revolution, Dorothy Quincy and Lydia Hancock, John's family, and Jonas and Lucy Clarke, town leaders, process the impending crisis as they prepare for war in the very rooms in which these conversations took place two hundred and fifty years ago.

This program is funded in part by Kirkland and Shaw Plumbing and Heating, and by a grant from the Lexington Council for the Arts, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
