Androboros, A Bographical [sic] Farce in Three Acts (1715), is acknowledged as the first play both written and printed in America. Its significance stems not simply from its publication but from its eventual impact. The play inadvertently laid the foundation for one of the defining rights of the nation that would eventually emerge some seventy-five years later—the First Amendment of the Constitution, guaranteeing a free press and freedom of expression.
