BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, a documentary biography as lively,
multi-faceted and groundbreaking as its subject, is a dramatic
re-creation of Franklin's mind and his world. Tony Award-winning
Broadway actor Richard Easton brings Franklin to life in intimate
conversation with the viewer, scripted exclusively with the great
man's own words preserved in letters and diaries. Blair Brown as
his loving sister Jane Mecom, Peter Donaldson as his nemesis John
Adams, Roberta Maxwell as his wife, Deborah, and Dylan Baker as
young Franklin are among the cast of actors who play key roles as
Franklin's contemporaries and include the viewer in their circle of
confidants.
