Watch a short play written by snarky British loyalists in 1776 to mock the American defeat in the first and largest battle of the War for Independence. Was the revolution a scam? Were the Founding Fathers idiots? The anonymous author of The Battle of Brooklyn, A Farce of Two Acts thought so!

Bring a blanket and a picnic to the Lawn at OSH to enjoy this funny piece of 246-year-old propaganda – lovingly abridged, introduced, and directed by local historian Dylan Yeats.
