What price liberty? For Benjamin Franklin, it was flesh and blood. One of American history's most fascinating figures, Franklin's legacy has been dissected from almost every possible angle. Yet while widely lauded for his role in giving birth to a new nation, Franklin's role as a father to his own children remains largely a mystery. This new work - commissioned by the Fulton and Franklin & Marshall College as part of the international celebration of Franklin's 300th birthday - examines the origins of Franklin's character. Meet Franklin's son William, and discover the roots of the rift that grew stronger than blood itself. Be among the first to learn about the little-known forces that helped to privately shape one of history's most public of men in this captivating world premiere by Tim Slover (Joyful Noise, 2004's Treasure, and Franklin & Marshall playwright in residence).
