AN EVENING WITH JOHN WILKES BOOTH

At heart, the thing I most desired to see--a sense of genuine empathy with the title character--never materialized. Which is perhaps totally personal to be fair.

The energy and charismatic nature of Stephen Spiegel , his ability to perform and play off the audience while telling the assassins side of our beloved president Lincoln's murder , was unbelievable !

That's what you get here and to me that's very very impressive . I tip my hat to all the people involved with my respect to the writers for an awesome Evening with John Wilkes Booth !... full review
