Through war and peace, tragedy and joy, the friendship and love of John Adams and Abigail Smith formed a passionate and enduring marriage which helped shape the future of a newborn America.Through long years of separation, brought about by John's work in Boston and Philadelphia during the American Revolution, their twin souls were joined only by the ink and parchment of their countless letters. This is the story of a timeless love at the dawn of a nation, of a legendary love that will live forever through its own words...A two-person play in one act. Adapted from the letters of John Adams and his wife Abigail by Justin Alexander. Of its inaugural performance in 2002, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune wrote: "John and Abigail is an adroit adaptation ... a chance to hear about the sacrifices involved in championing the American Revolution. John and Abigail endured their extended separations with pen, paper, and patience, communicating news of disease, death, battles, longing, and love."
