Paper money is of pure Yankee lineage. When Massachusetts soldiers returned from action in the French and Indian War in 1690 they were paid not in coin but in promissory notes that could be traded for goods.

Every scene builds to a stunning climax, as betrayals and counter-betrayals blaze into a crescendo of frustration and defeat. The play's stylized characterizations and heightened language looked like so much posturing and anachronism on the screen; but back on the stage, in the Leverett Old Library Theatre, they form the underpinnings of a first-rate production...
