Liberty for some, honour for 非，不，無 with this reinterpretation of the US 宣言 of Independence?
Jefferson's Garden (Palace Theatre Watford)
率ing: 
What would happen if the 宣言 of Independence 可決する・採択するd by the 部隊d 明言する／公表するs wasn't the 見解／翻訳／版 written by Thomas Jefferson? pictured.
It's a long time since I cast an 注目する，もくろむ over the U.S. 宣言 of Independence. But one thing I hadn’t 高く評価する／（相場などが）上がるd until seeing this fascinating new play by Timberlake Wertenbaker is that the 見解／翻訳／版 of the 宣言 written by Thomas Jefferson wasn’t the one 可決する・採択するd by the 政治家，政治屋s.
The differences are small but 重要な and Wertenbaker uses them to give the 設立するing fathers a 徹底的な workout in a play that’s as 熱烈な as it is big-hearted.
She also paints a panoramic social landscape, に引き続いて a young Quaker man who leaves his devoutly 平和主義者 family to fight for freedom ― 落ちるing in love with a slave girl on the way.
The play is certainly no fairy tale. The struggle was a squalid 商売／仕事 of 有罪の 妥協 and, even when it was won, it meant freedom for white folks only. Jefferson, a 長年の 対抗者 of slavery, kept his slaves on because he’d 投資するd so much money in them.
William Hope’s Jefferson is a serious, genial man with insouciant 二塁打 基準s, while David Burnett has a 抱擁する, Liam Neeson-esque 行う／開催する／段階 presence as the 主要な man driven by love and ideals. And Mimi Ndiweni is strong but sorrowful as the slave girl history betrays.?
