FULL-LENGTH - A stage play composed of six vignettes, each featuring two characters, all peripheral figures in the Lincoln assassination, all with their own riveting perspectives, each revealing another golden nugget of forgotten history.
To glue these vignettes together, my play features one recurring scene: An officer from the War Department forces the shaken cast to re-stage their play, Our American Cousin, in order to work out a timeline of who was where when during the shooting. This bizarre event actually took place mere days after the assassination. An encore under duress.
