The American War of Independence. Sample Text:

Speakers:

  • King George III
  • Prime Minister George Grenville
  • General Charles Cornwallis
  • George Washington (general and president)
  • Samuel Adams (Patriots leader)
  • Thomas Paine (English journalist – emigrated to US)

Adams: Patriotism! ‘Tis a wonderful thing!

George III:       If, that is, you understand what it means! Somebody, not a million miles from here, seemed to have great difficulty deciding which country he belonged to!

Washington:      The shame of it! Surely no-one could have been uncertain as to what side they were on in our great War of Independence!

Cornwallis:       We had no such traitors in my army!

Grenville:          So who was this Judas?

Paine:               I think he means me!

George III:       Yes, you! Paine by name and pain by nature! If only you’d stayed in your homeland and stayed loyal to England!
