Artword Theatre's second production in its inaugural season is RASCALS AND NUMSKULLS.
This new original Canadian play follows the thrilling real-life adventures of Robert and Phoebe Land.
Robert Land, a United Empire Loyalist, was a secret agent for the British army in the American Revolution.
Captured and condemned to death, he escaped the hangman and fought in Mohawk leader Joseph Brant's guerrilla army.
His wife, Phoebe Land fought an equally courageous battle protecting her family in the midst of a terrible civil war.
It's a story of heroism and endurance by ordinary people caught in a clash of empires.
Presented in comedy-style, the "Rascals and Numskulls" of the play's title are the American and British leaders of the time.
The play is being performed at The Pearl Company, located in Hamilton, Ontario's Landsdale neighbourhood, which is named after Robert Land.
