The
Revolutionary War Comes To Stony Brook
The year is 1780 and the
Revolutionary War has been raging within the thirteen colonies.
Long Island, and all of New York
City, is now under egregious British rule.
General
George Washington hatches a clandestine plan involving a group of Patriots
from the North Shore of Long Island. Suddenly, the Culper Spy Ring, also
known as the Setauket Spy Ring, has been born.
In
short order, the band of spies, under the direction of General Washington,
is confounding the Redcoats by intercepting battle information, planting
false messages, and developing an intricate and elaborate means of
communication.
The
Ward Melville Historic Organization has commissioned Sal St. George to
create “Incident
At The Grist Mill!
A Tale Of Espionage And Patriotism During The Revolutionary War.”
The
spell-binding fact-based dramatic program is set to coincide with the 250
Year Anniversary of the historic Stony Brook Grist Mill, where the
production will take place, starting in late April, through September. For
