Each of these short plays ... seizes the moment and renders it in complete dramatic opposition and resolution. -- J.H. Crouch, Professor Emeritus of the University of Colorado and Founder of the Colorado Shakespeare Festival
Product Description
The first Vice President and second President is discovered in the Executive Mansion (the White House) while it is under construction. Not only is the seemingly always irascible man plagued by the incompleteness of the building, but in a reelection bid faces the prospect of placing third in a four man race. Jefferson, his Vice President, has become a bitter enemy and Adams looks to strike back, primarily through the person of John Marshall. Adams is rude to the point of meanness and sentimental enough to draw tears from his wife, Abigail, who joins him in the shambles of his new residence and his faltering career.
