The Slippery Truth: Prisonbreak at New-Gate - July 10 - Aug 30
On a dark night in 1781, Loyalist prisoners rushed out of Connecticut’s New-Gate prison, seizing guns and killing a guard. In The Slippery Truth, a new immersive, site-specific play by Plays in Place, join prison trustee Captain John Forward in his attempt to sort through the stories and lies told by guards and recaptured prisoners.
Experience this moment of revolutionary history and explore the complexities of war, prison, and loyalty, in the place where it happened.
