Well ma'am I would have to concur with you. You see many of the men in this congress were mere farmers stockjobbers Taylors and merchants no less. They had no such previous experiences in politics. Such men like Mr. Adams and Mr. Jefferson were well educated and thus could write such impressionable documents about the ill of actions done by the British.

These guys are awesome! AND the words. Oh, my God!!! What incredible words.

Super fantastic! Everyone involved in this play should be very proud! Just as enjoyable as the original 1776 movie. First rate all the way.

The whole point is that right from the moment that Thomas Jefferson delivers his "To place before mankind the common sense of the matter" speech, Adams begins to hatch his plot to get Jefferson to write the Declaration. Everything from that point on is Adams working toward that goal. First, he gets Jefferson on the committee. Then, he goes through the motions of eliminating himself and the other members of the committee as candidates to write the Declaration to get Jefferson off his guard. Lastly, he springs his trap. That's why Jefferson's objections didn't count for anything.

I get it. It's a comical moment. But does everyone here, except for Jefferson, have to be overacting? Not to mention Adams rushing through his lines and the trio of Franklin, Sherman and Livingston drowning out Adams' argument with Jefferson. I'm seeing a production of this in January and I'm sorry to say but I hope that it's not as bad as this one seems to be.

Wow they all give such emotionless delivery. This is so bad :(
