1865. The United States are disunited by politics, power and race. To celebrate the end of the Civil War, a victorious Abraham Lincoln goes to the theatre. Not long into the show, a man walks in and shoots him. Who was he? Why did he do it? And why does it matter now?
In the lead-up to a tumultuous American election this November, the award-winning Simple8 examines the present by visiting the past with a searing new play about John Wilkes Booth, the actor who assassinated a President.
