My overall impression

A truly unique evening of theater. What struck me the most deeply about this was that, for me at least, it doesn’t focus on the political importance of an American President being assassinated quite so much as the tragedy of a good man being murdered before his time. The poetry makes you mourn him as if he were an old friend of yours. And the images/video being projected, literally forcing you to relive his death over and over, makes it all the more horrifying. This isn’t a traditional theatrical experience, with a rising action, climax, etc. It’s best enjoyed by sitting back and letting the words wash through you. They’ll take you places that maybe you won’t be comfortable going, but it’s a hell of a ride.
