FRANKLINLAND
Philadelphia Premiere By Lloyd Suh Directed by Charles McMahon
May 7 – June 7, 2026
Benjamin Franklin played many roles: publisher, inventor, political agitator, diplomat – and he wanted his son to follow him into the sciences. When William rebels and becomes the Royal Governor of New Jersey, the stage is set for a father-son conflict of international proportions. Join us for the Philadelphia premiere of Lloyd Suh's endearing and insightful new play of revolutionary consequences, in the city where it happened.
