Benjamin Franklin traces Franklin's life from humble beginnings to fame as a scientist, founding father, and America's first diplomat to France. Tony Award-winner Richard Easton and a cast of distinguished actors bring Franklin's 18th-century world vividly to life. Surprising, moving, and full of Franklin's own wit and wisdom, Benjamin Franklin is the exuberant portrait of a true American original.
