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 highly-theatrical play by award-winning playwright Aaron Posner imagines 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. Provocative, haunting, and hilarious, this play challenges the way we think of our country, our government and ourselves.
