What I liked

The research that went into this play is extensive. It is a history lesson for all who see it, forcing the audience to see life in another man’s shoes.
Would be a great play to take to high schools and colleges, ala the Mark Twain production. The plays moves forward, beautifully written by Lloyd Schwartz and the casting of Stephen Spiegel as Booth is a gift from heaven.

What I didn't like

Stephen needs to give more volume to lines delivered upstage and away from audience.

My overall impression

See it! You will be glued to your seat.
