| Christ and St Stephen's Church, New York City, NY, 120 West 69th St, New York City, 10023, United States Friday 14-Jun-13 07:30pm A Distant Love: Songs of John and Abigail Adams (Manhattan premiere) Manhattan premiere. The work is based on John Adams’ letters to his wife, Abigail, with whom he shared his aspirations, accomplishments and frustrations as he worked to secure financial support from the Dutch for the new nation emerging from a revolution. Abigail, his “dearest friend”, was not demure about expressing her feelings on things political, economic or domestic. She was an early feminist (“Don’t forget the women,” she wrote to John while the founding fathers were drafting the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia), abolitionist, mother and farm manager during John’s long absences.
