Press Reviews
"This remarkably inventive and exciting play probes into the dark corners of history to reveal the bizarre but affecting story of Abraham Lincoln's widow in the bitter years after his assassination. “It is an absorbing, engrossing and literate play…” —Cleveland Plain Dealer. “…a mixture of tragedy and comedy…an evening of theatre that is both entertaining and informative."
