John Quincy Adams – Spirit Unconquerable

Jim Cooke’s new performance is based on yet another cranky Yankee – John Quincy Adams, son of our second president and of the indomitable Abigail Adams.
He wrote poetry, loved theater, opera and good company. He held informed views on all subjects.
See him in the last decade of life defend the Amistad Africans before the Supreme Court and fight the slave-master’s Gag Rule in the House of Representatives. Truly, he was Old Man Eloquent.
