Daguerreotype



Daguerreotype:

  1. an obsolete photographic process, invented in 1839.
  2. a picture made by this process.
  3. a post-bellum love story.
  4. a portrait of an artist in his final days.

Mathew Brady’s images defined the Civil War. Now, at the twilight of his life, Matthew must choose between the life he has built and the legacy he wants to leave behind. A fascinating and candid journey into the mind of one of America’s unsung artistic pioneers, and the iconic and powerful nature of the photograph.

 The Abingdon Theater, August 2007

“Ambitious… the energy and passion make for an exciting bit of theater…A trio of actors working together to unfreezethe still images of the past, riding the waves of time with vibrant rhapsody.”
–Aaron Riccio, New Theater Corps
