Historic Northampton, in collaboration with Plays In Place and in partnership with the Unitarian Society of Northampton and Florence, proudly presents two staged readings of Blood on the Snow.***
On March 5, 1770, British soldiers in Boston killed four unarmed civilians and wounded eight more in what is known today as the Boston Massacre. This play focuses on the events that took place the day after--March 6, 1770—when the leaders of Boston gathered in the Council Chamber of what is now the Old State House and made decisions that placed Massachusetts on the road to revolution. These live, staged readings will be the first time this play has been performed outside of Boston.
The dramatic performance will be directed by Brianna Sloane and feature local professional actors, many of whom performed in Pulling at the Roots at Historic Northampton in 2023 and 2024. The actors include: Matt Haas, Bill Stewart, Gabriel Levey, Andrew Roberts, Marcus Neverson, Lindel Hart, Scott Braidman, Luke Haskell, Rich Vaden, and Patrick Toole.
Each hour-long performance will be followed by a discussion with the playwright and a historian.
Reservations recommended.
