About this listen
Alexander and Tobias Royall: two brothers. One smuggles tea to New England ports on his ships to avoid paying an unjust tax. The other is a prominent lawyer who supports the crown. One resides in Royall House East, the other in Royall House West. Both have wives and children who also have their various political beliefs. While the colonies of New England are on the precipice of revolution against the crown, the Royall family is about to explode with a revolution within the walls of their homes. Who can be trusted? Brothers, sisters, house servants, and townspeople are all shrouded in a cloud of suspicion, mystery, murder, and betrayal. The award-winning Colonial Radio Theatre on the Air presents this full-cast audio drama complete with sound effects and an original music score.

British special agent Jeremiah Black, an officer of the King’s Guard, lands on a lonely beach in the wee hours of the morning in late November 1780. The revolution is in full swing but has become deadlocked. Black is here to change all that. His mission, aided by Loyalists, is to kidnap George Washington and spirit him back to London aboard the HMS Peregrine, a British sloop of war that is waiting closely offshore. Once he lands, though, the “aid by Loyalists” proves problematic because some would prefer just to kill the general outright.

WONDERFUL STORY
Disliked the foul language that was intertwined throughout the story.
The story was captivating for the full duration.
It ended with you hanging... Didn't have a complete ending - we were in hopes for a part 2.

GREAT HISTORY; MAXI-DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY!
Any additional comments?
I have and love almost all of the historical dramas by CRP. Royall House offers excellent insight into the prejudice, secrets and tensions during the lead up to our REVOLUTIONARY WAR through the personages of Royall House: Tobias Royall, barrister or attorney, the elder, more balanced in viewpoint, though taking the conservative, Tory, support the King even if he's wrong line versus Alexander Royall, an intelligent but fierce very successful ship's captain who detests the lack of courtesy by the King in imposing taxes on the India tea import without getting the Colonial's feedback first. He himself is
dodging the now unpopular India tea by smuggling Dutch tea; however he knows the danger of this, and has taken steps. This part of the story is fine, fun and insightful. You know all families have differences of opinion and choices in life to make. This can even be interesting if people have love and acceptance, and don't force expectations or standards on one another. However, this part of the story for me is just too vicious: one of the elder boys is actually sociopathic, others of the children of both families are loving, innocent and judicious, the mothers are both living lives of repression and unhappiness and end up taking out their frustrations on everyone. High drama it is that accompanies this otherwise interesting story, the ending of which has a positive note, but, with all the anger, accusation and active, blaming frustration, you just don't feel happy at the end. I would have liked less viciousness, less anger and accusation, and still have kept the revelations and differences, but worked them out with responsibility, transformation and maybe a bit
of caring.
