History At Play, LLC Presents THE MASSACRE ORATIONS OF DR. JOSEPH WARREN

History At PlayTM, LLC has garnered nationwide applause for their Immersive Living History Experiences, chronicling the lives of legendary trailblazers who changed society. On Friday, December 11th, 2020 HAP, LLC presents The Massacre Orations, featuring living historian Spencer Van Herik in a solo portrayal, recalling the heroics of Dr. Joseph Warren. Van Herik transports us to March 6, 1775 for Warren's second Boston Massacre Oration. Having authored The Suffolk Resolves in September 1774, Warren ushered Massachusetts into an open state of rebellion against Great Britain. Van Herik reinterprets this fiery speech by Warren, who, amidst rumors of an assassination attempt, elected to deliver his oration wearing only breeches and a toga. Channeling Joseph Addison's play Cato, a Tragedy (1713), Warren's daring and dramatic speech, transcribed for modern audiences, lives on to tell the tale of the definitive precursor to an American Revolution. Performance contains some mature language.
