The Captured Enemy
von Edward Marriott
The Captured Enemy is a gripping afternoon play based on the diaries of American "freedom fighters" imprisoned in British jails during the American War of Independence. The story follows Thomas Will and his son Caleb as they leave their family and farm in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1777 to join the fight against the British.
After being captured at sea, they find themselves in a brutal prison in southern England, where they devise a daring escape plan. This compelling narrative is brought to life by a talented cast, including Philip Jackson as Thomas and Steven Geller as Caleb.
