Cato by Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719)

Joseph Addison is known mostly for his periodical, "The Spectator", written with his friend Richard Steele. But he found time to write a few plays - with and without Steele (Cato is without) - before being elevated to Secretary of State and putting drama aside. This play was supposedly staged by George Washington after the winter of 1778 at Valley Forge as an inspiration to his officers on self-sacrificing republican virtues. Many quotes of American revolution leaders - Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or Give me death" and Nathan Hale's "I only regret I have but one life to lose for my country" - are drawn from this play. - Summary by ToddHWCast list:Cato: Greg GiordanoPortius: Adrian StephensMarcus: Tomas PeterSempronius: InkellJuba: Jim LockeSyphax: CavaetLucius: Alan MapstoneDecius: Kerry AdamsLucia: SoniaMarcia: Anna Maria1st Leader of the Mutiny: David PurdyStage Directions and Editing: ToddHW
