What I liked

I am a big history buff and loved how well it combined all the elements. The writing is brought to life through an amazing performance by Stephen Spiegle augmented by good direction and top-notch production values.

What I didn't like

Great as is. Good job.

My overall impression

If you are into history, this is the show for you. A very entertaining, well-done and fast-paced show about John Wilkes Booth, and how he came to be. It is full of historical trivia while being an excellent character study. Stephen Speigle’s performance is incredible, Lloyd Schwartz’s direction keeps it moving a very fast clip and Clinton Case does a great job combining history and drama, making it all very accessible. Go.
