Franklinland is a comedy by Lloyd Suh receiving its Philadelphia premiere, directed by Lantern Theater Company Artistic Director Charles McMahon. The play explores the conflict between Benjamin Franklin and his son William, who rebels against his father's plans by becoming the Royal Governor of New Jersey and aligning with the British Crown as the colonies move toward revolution. The cast features Frank X as Ben, Dave Johnson as William, and Gavin Spiewak in his Lantern debut as Temple. The production takes a comedic look at ambition, legacy, and the consequences of a son refusing to follow his father's blueprint.
