Together Tonight

Hamilton, Jefferson, Burr

De: Norman Corwin

Narrado por: JD Cullum, Harrison Gregory, Lubatti Henry, Tichnell Brian

Three prominent Americans debate the merits of unchecked immigration, national security, and civil rights. While it sounds like a contemporary, made-for-TV event, this confrontation takes place in 1799, with three of America's Founding Fathers as participants: Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and Aaron Burr. Legendary radio dramatist Norman Corwin created this imagined discussion from the participants' actual writings - proving that when it comes to politics, some things never change.

Gregory Harrison as Thomas Jefferson/Mr. Pendleton
Henri Lubatti as Pickering/others

When there was something of value being aired

Corwin was amazing. What I got from this was the same arguments were front and center with politicians in the 1830's as they are in the 2020's. We need statesmen and we have how ever many stooges there are in Washington on both sides of the aisle. But they have been there since 1776. And they were in London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Tokyo, Moscow, Beijing ad infinitum before then. And probably will be forever.

Norman Corwin Hits another Home Run

This play is wonderful, If you have not listened to Norman Corwin you should he is one of the finest writters in the history of radio. you can trust that he is factual and not making things up for a political purposes. The Rivalry about the Lincoln Douglas debates is one of the best plays I have ever listened to, so give this one a try you will not be sorry.
