The Trial of Abraham Hunt- An American Christmas Story- A staged Reading
Theater To Go Presents a staged reading of this part of Trenton Patriots Week 2016
CHRISTMAS NIGHT 1776. Trenton merchant and newly avowed British Loyalist Abraham Hunt is hosting a Christmas party for the occupying Hessian enemy. George Washington is closing in for his attack on Trenton. An ominous knock on Abraham Hunt's door by a British sympathizer interrupts the festivities. One false move by this apparent traitor and the American Revolution will die on his doorstep.
"You must be well convinced that it is indispensably necessary to bear the suspicion of being thought inimical; and it is not in their power to assert their innocence, because that would get abroad and destroy the confidence which the enemy puts in them." George Washington to New Jersey Governor Livingston regarding suspected traitors. 1778
But was Abraham Hunt really a traitor or? Did Providence play a role that Christmas night to save our nation? A jury seat awaits you.
A talk back with the playwright Michael A. Davis and noted historian Larry Kidder will follow the performance. Come, mix and mingle with the cast and enjoy refreshments.
