Quintessence Theatre at the Sedgwick
@quintessencephl.bsky.social
As Philadelphia’s text-based actor-focused repertory theatre, Quintessence re-envisions the classics to inspire our community to consider what is essential in theatre and in human nature.
Rosa Cartagena of @inquirer.com also calls The Return of Benjamin Lay “a rousing effort to get modern audiences to see the British abolitionist Quaker as a prescient leader, in the vein of Hamilton,” and deems this production “strikingly powerful.”
The British Quaker who challenged Ben Franklin is back at Quintessence Theatre
"The Return of Benjamin Lay," is a timely reminder of Lay's unapologetic radicalism against authoritarian forces.
