Award-winning company Thinkery & Verse tell the tragic tale of Benjamin Franklin and his Loyalist son in the American revolution.
Middlesex County is proud to present Thinkery & Verse’s LIBERTY MADNESS: SCENES FROM A REVOLUTION, a dynamic and magical stage play that shares the story of America’s fiery pursuit of Liberty. On the eve of the American revolution, Benjamin Franklin travelled to Perth Amboy to confront New Jersey’s royal governor–his own (and only) beloved son! In a war that destroyed much of mid-Atlantic, families were torn apart as New Jersey became the crossroads of the American revolution. This live stage-play tells an epic story through shadows and illuminations, puppets and songs, to understand the people who lived through the American Revolution 250 years ago.
Thinkery & Verse seek to perform classically inspired, politically aware plays that challenge us to be empowered, globally-oriented citizens with a keen awareness of the high stakes of modern life. While our primary mission is to create new plays, one of our key creative methods is to perform our plays in repertory with classic works, thereby challenging our writers and actors to achieve new heights of creativity and aesthetics.
