Honour, The Musical

April 21 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

The Stanly-Spaight Duel. One of New Bern’s most compelling stories. A younger man goads an older statesman. The older man insults the younger. All in public. In newsprint. Add the story of Sarah Rice, a favored enslaved servant of the Spaights, who had a son by John Stanly. Mix it all together with the knowledge and wit of Bill Hand and the music of Simon Spalding and you have “Honour, The Musical”. This historic tale will be brought to life through original dialogue and music, as the full-length play sweeps you from the signing of the Constitution to the dispute that would lead these bitter rivals to a fight to the death on the field of honor.

Honour, The Musical is presented by North Carolina History Theater in partnership with Craven Community College and New Bern Historical Society. Performances April 21, 22, 23 & 30 at 7pm and April 24, 30 and May 1 at 2pm. All at Craven Community College’s Orringer Hall.
