Description
In 1829, two travelling players set out from London on a journey and challenge to conquer New York. Led by the urbane maestro and mentor, Parsloe, they exchange a Hogarthian world of gin, cock-fighting and debauchery for godliness and salted biscuits on a grotesque sea voyage to the New World.
