Together Tonight: Hamilton, Jefferson, Burr

Three prominent Americans debate the merits of unchecked immigration, national security, and civil rights. While it sounds like a contemporary, made-for-TV event, this confrontation takes place in 1799, with three of America’s Founding Fathers as participants: Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, and Aaron Burr. Legendary radio dramatist Norman Corwin created this imagined discussion from the participants’ actual writings, proving that when it comes to politics, some things never change.

Recorded before an audience at UCLA’s James Bridges Theater in October 2016.
