"When you're President, there's no such thing as a free ride. Warren Harding knew it when he accepted Henry Ford's invitation to join him and Thomas Edison on their annual camping trip. When the three men find themselves stranded in the woods--Ford's Model T having hit a deer and crashed into a tree--the niceties are brushed aside and the power struggle begins."--Publisher's description
Concord Theatricals describes "Camping with Henry and Tom" as "an exploration of friendship, politics and leadership; a comedic and dramatic clash of two great minds and one great heart of the twentieth century."
Recorded before a live audience at the DoubleTree Suites, Santa Monica in January of 1996.
