SUMMARY:Revolutionary Tea on a Gambrel Roof w/tea & cake
DESCRIPTION:A dramatization of ‘A Gambrel Roof’\, a poem by Lucy Larcom. Reservations required $20pp. \nA creative multi-disciplinary theatrical presentation of a circa 1875 local poem about the historic Danvers Jeremiah Page House. Period music\, an art installation\, historic tea blends and signature cakes add to the illustration of the story: \nIn about 1770\, when the British monarchy started taxing tea in the colonies\, Jeremiah told Sarah that “no tea shall be drunk in this house”. However\, while her husband was away one day\, Sarah and two friends secretly had their tea ON the roof of the house. In Sarah’s words\, “Upon a house is not within it”\, so she was still obeying her husband’s wishes. This story was told to Anne L. Page\, Jeremiah’s granddaughter\, by a family friend many years later. Anne then told it to her friend Lucy Larcom\, the famous Beverly poet. Lucy romanticized the story in the poem “A Gambrel Roof” written as the 100th birthday of our nation approached and published in the Atlantic Monthly.
