In Cato & Dolly: A New American Play, Pay-Per-HAP reveals life in a Governor's mansion, through the experiences of those who reside there: Dolly Quincy Hancock, wife to Governor John Hancock and First Lady of Massachusetts, and Cato, an enslaved person of color.

Cato & Dolly breathes life into their legacies, as well as other Revolutionary-era figures, whose lives intersect at the Hancock House over the course of 50 years (1764-1816).

The performance features influential and often forgotten figures, as they live through late Colonial America’s most pivotal events, inspiring new perspectives for an American narrative.

Cato & Dolly: A New American Play was written by Playwright Patrick Gabridge, originally developed and produced by Plays in Place, for the Bostonian Society (now Revolutionary Spaces), at The Old State House Museum, in Boston, MA.

Running time: Approx.

30 minutes.

Followed by Real-Time Audience Q&A and BONUS MATERIALS.
