Caesar Rodney's Ride

Step into the heated July 1, 1776 session of the Continental Congress, where delegates wrestle with the bold idea of independence. The script captures the frantic exchanges, the clatter of gavel, and the nervous urgency of figures like Franklin and Rutledge as they debate the Lee Resolution. Listeners hear authentic period language and a chorus of crowd noises that bring the cramped hall to life.

Designed for performance, the play doubles as a guide for aspiring radio actors, with clear directions for microphone distance, tone, and atmosphere. Each role is printed alongside the dialogue, so participants can focus on delivering emotion through voice alone, without costumes or sets. The result is an immersive glimpse of a turning point in American history, inviting audiences to feel the stakes as they unfold.
