What Price Freedom Reviews
Stage and Cinema- Somewhat Recommended
"...What Price Freedom, by Tony Blake, having its world premiere at Moving Arts Theatre, recounts one of the more unusual moments in the course of the American Revolution: when John Adams (destined to be the second president of the United States) and Benjamin Franklin, early American Renaissance man (destined to be the face on the $100 bill), were forced to share a bed."
Stage Raw- Somewhat Recommended
"...In Tony Blake’s new play, set in September, 1776, firebrand and snooty Bostonian John Adams (Brandon Bales), destined to become second president of the United States, is so fueled by hatred of the British, one has to wonder how he sleeps at night."
Larchmont Buzz- Highly Recommended
"...Playwright Tony Blake presents a delightfully problematic dilemma: two giants of American history are forced to share a small room with a single, small bed at an inn. Set on the night of September 9, 1776, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, the play presents John Adams (Brandon Bales) and Benjamin Franklin (Rob Nagle) on the eve of the Staten Island Peace Conference with British General William Howe. What unfolds is not a colorful political spectacle, but a sharply observed chamber piece—one that trades battlefield drama for ideological sparring and human contradiction."
