Event Details
The Spy -- By James Fenimore Cooper -- The Acting Company
Friday, May 158pm
In The Spy, the first espionage novel, we find ourselves in a territory that is ruled neither by the British army nor its Colonial rebels. Washington's army is in a fight to the death with the King's redcoats to determine who will control the wilderness north of New York City.
This "neutral ground" is a territory rife with plots and double-crosses; families torn apart and communities divided along political lines. The bloody scramble of history is written on the landscape and its people, resonating down the ages. Spies and counterspies play out their roles to achieve political goals and personal honor. No one is who they appear to be, lies are sometimes told by the best of them and the truth may never be known.
Romance, adventure, disguises and the ticking clock of a coming battle all conspire to make The Spy a very modern and vivid entertainment.
