Editorial reviews

American playwright Mark St. Germain’s off-Broadway hit Camping with Henry and Tom is a rollicking narrative inspired by real events. Industrialist Henry Ford and inventor Thomas Edison took annual camping trips together, accompanied by family, friends, and a host of help. In 1921, they invited President Warren G. Harding along. St. Germain devises a zany adventure laced with sparkling conversation and witty repartee. The charismatic Alan Alda, who plays Henry Ford with his usual verve, inspires the cast to deliver magnificent performances.

Camping can be so fun

Alan Alda did a wonderful job playing Henry Ford. This play causes one to think about the leaders we have had in this nation and also some of the motivating factors of some of the early industrialists that thought they had all the answers. Good thing we hae protected from some of these men. This play is very funny and worth a listen.
