We'd like to tell you the story of the woman, who worshipped a man who was wrong. The woman is Theodosia Burr, the man is her father, Aaron Burr. In the American way of life, Burr was wrong. He dreamed of an empire and what was to become part of the United States. Yet his daughter Theodosia, knowing the evil, to say nothing of the folly of her father's ambitions, believed in him almost to the end. Why? The answer to that question lies in our play...
