Synopsis

A fascinating dramatisation of a conspiracy theory surrounding Kennedy''s assassination.

It''s the 1990s, and Lynette, an ex-assistant editor at LIFE magazine, now living in obscurity, has gathered her family around her to celebrate her birthday.

She has a secret that she needs to confide in them.

In the 1960s, when she worked as an assistant on LIFE magazine, she was an ''unwilling'' witness to the first showing of the (in)famous ''Zapruder'' film about the assassination of Kennedy, which allegedly proved the theory that there was a second assassin.

Chosen by her boss to hand over the film to the FBI, Lynette is the last surviving link in this particular chain of mysterious events.

Thirty years later and the controversy still rumbles on- Will the retiring ex-Assistant forsake her and her family''s anonymity for the sake of demonstrating this incontrovertible evidence to the world?

Frame 312 is published to tie in with the Donmar Warehouse production in March 2002.'

Press Reviews

"…a solidly engaging show.” —New City Chicago. ”…an intriguing portrait of the impact that Kennedy's death had on a nation by showing us the remnants of a nuclear family, 30 years later…a thought-provoking, well-acted meditation on what we've all become.“ —Phoenix New Times. ”After a plethora of new American plays aimed at the solar plexus, it is gratifying to find one that appeals to the mind.“ —The Guardian (UK). ”For those millions who are still desperate to get to the bottom of what really happened in Dallas in November 1963 or still worship JFK, FRAME 312 should prove thought-provoking."
