As King George III lies on his deathbed, blind and insane, he’s visited by his former subject and nemesis, George Washington. Dueling Georges,an original musical by BackAlley’s own Stephen Parr, Hunter Tuck, and Karen Schmidt, brings to life the fight George III and George Washington never got to have face to face. In the process, we see what made the founding of our country still worth celebrating 250 years later.
