Theater and the American Revolution with Jason Shaffer

About this episode

In this episode of the Strategy Bridge Podcast, we talk with Jason Shaffer about the role of theater during the American Revolution and in 18th Century Anglo-American culture. We look at how theater portrayed the military, expressed the principles of Revolutionary ideology, and the role of propaganda plays during the Revolutionary War. Shaffer is the author of "Performing Patriotism: National Identity in the Colonial and Revolutionary American Theater" and is an Associate Professor of English at the U.S. Naval Academy.
