The Battle of Brooklyn; A Farce of Two Acts
*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 08/22/2025
A short play written by a snarky Brooklyn Loyalist in 1776 to mock the American defeat in the largest battle of the War for Independence. Was the Revolution a scam? Were the Founding Fathers idiots? The anonymous author of The Battle of Brooklyn; A Farce of Two Acts thought so! Come down to the lawn at Old Stone House to enjoy this funny piece of 249-year-old propaganda – lovingly abridged, introduced, and directed by local historian Dylan Yeats.
