A quick, dirty antidote to any overdose of holiday cheer.
It’s Christmas Night, 1776. A boat carrying a cannon across the Delaware River during George Washington’s famous crossing also carries snatches of conversation among the two Marblehead boatmen poling the craft and an Irish gunner attached to the cannon. The bitter rain has turned to driving snow. The river is choked with ice cakes the size of livestock. And on the other side are four hundred Hessian mercenaries to be fought come the dawn. Will they be asleep, drunk from their Yuletide revels, like the Virginian General hopes? Or will they be waiting for the rag-tag rebel army with their own Christmas surprise?
William Salyers directs a cast of veteran voice talent in this ten minute audio drama. {Adult language}
