John Bull; or, an Englishman's Fireside archive

A comedy in five acts. In the figure of the honest and good-hearted Job Thornberry, Colman offered his audience a comforting vision of the English national character: robust, virtuous and quick to oppose injustice. Not just a rollicking comedy, John Bull powerfully staged the nation at a time when England was imperilled by the growing power of Napoleonic France. A Script in Hand Performance. Local performers will join the cast of The London Merchant for this exciting opportunity to rediscover a lost work together. The reading is followed by a post show discussion.
