Events Description
If America is a show, then John Wilkes Booth was its first star.
A well-known stage actor, Booth shot Abraham Lincoln during a performance on April 14, 1865. In that moment, he kidnapped reality and transformed it into theatre.
Generations later, Mark Killman – a feared but much-admired director – hires two actors to stage Lincoln’s assassination. The actors play comedy duo Laurel and Hardy, while Killman plays Lincoln as a wax figure.
Absurd, hilarious and haunting, Abraham Lincoln Goes to the Theatre is an unforgettable mystery.
A darkly funny puzzle box of a show about celebrity, theatre, reality, impossible love and the true face of America.
