Readington Museums, P.O. Box 216, Stanton, NJ 08885 Phone 908-236-2327 | readingtonmuseums@gmail.com www.readingtontwpnj.gov/community/readington-museum Join Anne and Ridley Enslow for a musical presentation about spies during the American Revolution at the Bouman-Stickney Farmstead inside the Wade-Wyckoff Barn from 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm, Sunday, May 5. This program covers espionage on both sides of the war, from the Revolution's earliest days until its dramatic conclusion. Although the Patriots did not start with the same degree of sophistication as the British, they quickly learned. Dead drops. Invisible inks. Secret codes. Moles and double agents. Incredible courage and outright betrayal. This show has it all—with songs to go along! Nathan Hale was the first spy to be commemorated in song after his death—by no less than Francis Hopkinson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. On the other side, the British Major John Andre, who collaborated with Benedict Arnold, wrote his own music and poetry. There are many more tales to tell, and they're full of surprises. James Rivington, the king's royal printer in New York and seemingly the most loyal of Loyalists, turned out to be not-so-loyal to the Crown after all. And then there was the servant to Lord Cornwallis who turned out to have been sent by the Marquis de Lafayette to spy on his Lordship. The tales go on.... For this presentations Anne Enslow will play the hammered dulcimer, an instrument documented to have been in the American Colonies, and Ridley Enslow will play a violin, in this case a violin made in 1776. They both sing. Before each song Anne gives an interesting and entertaining introduction to the piece, setting the context in American history.
