Life, Liberty & The Pursuit of
Tories
Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Tories
The time is 1776 and the aristocratic Lee family of Virginia
is in peril – the victims of a Tory plot. To flush out the
would-be assassin, the family invites all their neighbors,
Tory and Revolutionary, to a dinner at Stratford Hall.
Before they can even discover who is after them they find
the assassin dead in their midst. Flummoxed, they must
now find out who killed the killer! Unfortunately, the Lees
are not much help to themselves. Arthur is an utter fop
more interested in fashions and young ladies than
sleuthing. Henry is forever writing speeches for the
Continental Congress. Elizabeth would normally have
solved the entire problem herself but something is
definitely amiss with the widow. Missy and her beau, Dr.
Hall, are a bit too preoccupied with each other. That
leaves Toby, Arthur’s manservant. But what is he to do?
His every moment is spent attending to Arthur. It is up to
the audience to help poor Toby solve this mystery and
right the ship of the American Revolution, gone slightly
astray in the straights of Stratford.
