BOSWELL, a play by Wisconsin playwright Marie Kohler, weaves together the journeys of two women across different centuries, exploring themes of friendship and authenticity. Set in the modern 1950s and the 1760s, the story follows American graduate student Joan as she uncovers the hidden journals of James Boswell while researching at a Scottish estate. Through her discoveries, Joan connects with Boswell's adventures alongside literary giant Samuel Johnson, ultimately leading her toward a more genuine life. The play highlights the enduring nature of friendship through the experiences of both Joan and her historical counterparts.
