WOW! The best way to study history. Fantastic job by David Lewis. What a writing and acting talent he is. Can't wait for his next endeavour, but this one will be hard to top. PLEASE go see it. Hopefully, it can be brought into the schools, or, better yet, the students brought into the theater. Collapse

Attended the 29/10 performance and was thoroughly impressed with story, lines & acting. Mr. Lewis was excellent. He was completely able to hold my interest by himself for the entire play. Sad how so many of Mr. Franklin's observations are still apropro for our country today. Small criticism is the length, perhaps 20-30 minutes shorter would have been perfect. Plan to return with my teenage son. Collapse

My wife and I attended the 10/24 performance and thoroughly enjoyed it. Strong script with a great combination of biographical/historical information and Franklin-esque adages and witticisms. I enjoyed Franklin pondering historical dilemmas as much as I enjoyed him discussing his more personal details and problems. I was surprised by the amount of times I laughed (courtesy of Franklin's incisive wit, especially seen in 'Poor Richard'). Definitely worth seeing; am considering attending a second show myself.

Although not much of a history buff myself, I was more than impressed with Lewis' portrayal of Benjamin Franklin. The play was informative and entertaining, and the standing ovation speaks most clearly to the audience's sentiment. If you like history or biographies, you'll love this play! Collapse
