Synopsis

The world-famous Edwin, Brutus, and John Wilkes Booth performed together only one time.

The Brothers Booth depicts events surrounding that world-renowned performance of Julius Caesar in 1864, events that would change the course and meaning of history itself.

Lincoln's assassination and the Civil War frame The Brothers Booth, a page-turning play in which World-History, Drama, Philosophy, even Theology intersect.

"The Brothers Booth is a remarkable achievement...meticulous scholarship...poetic dialogue...and topical references."

-- Dr. Thomas Soare, Director of the World-Premiere "...exhilarating.

The dialogue crackles with wit, wordplay, and allusion calling to mind Shakespeare and Stoppard."

-- Dr. Clive Swansbourne "...reinvests the historic event with what theatre does best..." -- Dr. Sidney Berger, Director, Houston Shakespeare Festival Published here in an annotated version with long bibliography, The Brothers Booth rewards both reader and audience again and again.

A must read, a must experience, concerning one of the most remarkable moments of all time.
