New & Dangerous Opinions of Roger Williams

New and Dangerous Opinions of Roger Williams

Set in the dramatic political and philosophical fray of colonial Rhode Island, New and Dangerous Opinions introduces audiences to the strong-minded iconoclast Roger Williams, his ground-breaking ideas, and his deeply respectful alliance with the indigenous culture. Weaving together writings of Roger Williams with Native American poetry, old English and American hymns, music of Purcell, Handel, Barbara Kolb’s inspired Franciscan Chant, and Chris Turner’s improvisations, Aurea masterfully invokes the spirit of the time with a richly creative melding of cultures.
