Sedition

A world premiere by Westport Country Playhouse playwright in residence David Wiltse, Sedition is the true story of a man whose conscience during World War I forced him to stand up in defense of our freedom of speech — and the price he paid for his courage. Set on a college campus, Wiltse’s stunning new play pits controversial forces against each other. It questions with razor sharp dialogue and not without a sense of humor: what does it mean to be an American patriot? And what is freedom of speech?
