How to resolve AdBlock issue? CAMBRIDGE — Hubbard Hall Center for the Arts and Education presents the world premiere of Grant’s Ghost, by Warren Schultz, on Nov. 18-20.
In the waning days of his life, President Ulysses S. Grant was broken. Having lost his family fortune in a bad business deal and dying of throat cancer, Grant turned to the one thing he possessed of value to save his family: his own story.
Over weeks and months in upstate New York, Grant raced against time to complete his memoir before his life came to an end. With one final creative act, he saved his family, restored their fortune, and passed on his life story for generations to come.
But what if his memoir didn’t tell it all? What if secrets were missing? What if Grant actually wrote two memoirs? In Grant’s Ghost, local playwright Warren Schultz portrays Grant’s last days, as Ulysses S. Grant worked with Mark Twain to complete his memoir, struggled with his past, and envisioned a brighter future for his beloved country.
Grant’s Ghost runs Nov. 18-20, with performances at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 18, and 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19 and Sunday, Nov. 20. Tickets are $25 Adults and $10 Students ages 18 and under. Hubbard Hall is located at 25 E. Main St., Cambridge. For more info, call: 518-677-2495.
