Brattleboro Literary Festival: “True As Steel” by Christina Gibbons & Don McLean

The Brattleboro Literary Festival kicks off this year’s 4-day event with a reprise of the play “True As Steel,” a play about the life and times of Royall Tyler, the most important Vermont writer of the Federalist era. In 1991 to commemorate the Vermont statehood Bicentennial, Christina Gibbons and Don McLean co-wrote “True as Steel,” using entirely the words of Royall and Mary Palmer Tyler drawn from their writings. The play was performed at Brooks Memorial Library and at Guilford’s Broad Brook Grange.
