New England Premiere of 'JQA' at The Gamm
Complicated, passionate and difficult, John Quincy Adams was a brilliant diplomat, congressman, and ineffectual one-term president known for his eloquence, arrogance, and integrity. This unique, highly theatrical play by award-winning playwright Aaron Posner (Stupid F**king Bird) imagines key confrontations between JQA and some of America’s most dynamic figures: George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, his own father John Adams, and more. At once provocative, haunting and hilarious, this power play, featuring Normand Beauregard as Henry Clay, Jonathan Higginbotham as John Quincy Adams (pictured), challenges the way we think about our country, our government and ourselves.
