Synopsis

The world-famous Edwin, Brutus, and John Wilkes Booth performed together only one time. The Brothers Booth depicts events surrounding that world-renowned performance of Julius Caesar in 1864, events that would change the course and meaning of history itself. Lincoln's assassination and the Civil War frame The Brothers Booth, a page-turning play in which World-History, Drama, Philosophy, even Theology intersect. "The Brothers Booth is a remarkable achievement...meticulous scholarship...poetic dialogue...and topical references." -- Dr. Thomas Soare, Director of the World-Premiere "...exhilarating. The dialogue crackles with wit, wordplay, and allusion calling to mind Shakespeare and Stoppard." -- Dr. Clive Swansbourne "...reinvests the historic event with what theatre does best..." -- Dr. Sidney Berger, Director, Houston Shakespeare Festival Published here in an annotated version with long bibliography, The Brothers Booth rewards both reader and audience again and again. A must read, a must experience, concerning one of the most remarkable moments of all time.
