A Legend of Communipaw

A Legend of Communipaw A dramatization of Washington Irving's short story by artist Trish Szymanski

A Legend of Communipaw - The Play presents in the 21st century the captivating short story of the same name, written by Washington Irving in the early 19th century, about Communipaw - today's Jersey City, New Jersey - in the 17th century. The story follows the partnership of two men who meet in Communipaw in the early years of British governance - one Dutch, one African, both outsiders, who join f

orces to achieve what neither could do alone. The themes in A Legend of Communipaw - including commercial ambition and pan-ethnic business and personal relationships - are rooted firmly in the early days of European settlement. But they were familiar and fresh to Washington Irving 200 years ago as they are still today. A Legend of Communipaw - The Play brings together history, literature and theater in a uniquely exciting experience. Each evening will begin with a talk about the New Netherland period and the Dutch impact on Jersey City and beyond by a local historian and expert in the field.
