Setting: Fowkes Tavern, the Colony of Virginia, 1665. Inspired by a dream (and a few drinks), a ragtag troupe of amateur thespians put on a play. A bear waxes poetic, a cannon explodes, and the American Theater is born. Based on historical court records, this new play drops the fourth wall, immersing audiences in a colonial tavern for a high octane reimagining of the first known English-language play in North America — and the trial it ignites.
