A Founding Father, a Victorian novelist and a Russian revolutionary walk into a…stop me if you’ve heard this one. Thomas Jefferson (yes that one), Charles Dickens (the very same) and Count Leo Tolstoy (who else?) are brought together in a blistering battle of wits. From Scott Carter (executive producer of Real Time with Bill Maher), this whip-smart comedy examines what happens when great men of history are forced to repeat it.

Come find out what happens when Thomas Jefferson, Charles Dickens and Count Leo Tolstoy find each other locked in a room following their death. How do they get out? What is their purpose? Were their lives actually as they seemed?

We are asked to look at our truths in this thought provoking play. Perhaps what we present to the world isn't always an honest portrayal...
