Peggy & the Mad Scenes
Updated: Dec 15, 2020

a play about the wife of Benedict Arnold

One morning in 1780, a woman named Peggy Shippen seemed to go stark raving mad. Her husband, Benedict Arnold, had been accused of treason -- and so Peggy came down to breakfast, scantily clad and tormented by hallucinations. That morning came to be known as the Mad Scene.
