Abraham Lincoln Goes to Theater

Very interesting show. There are about 3 actors but around 10 characters on the stage. It was kind of a shock at the first 30 minutes when I saw the actor switch from one character to another with just a change of light or a change of pose, then I had to really focus on the which character they play at every change. That was a challenge, and very enjoyable experience.

We were told that the show ran for 100 minutes without any intermission. Since I have TB (tiny bladder) issue, so I tactically went to the washroom 30 minutes before the show, and then 1o minutes before, and then I fully enjoy the show without any issue.

So what happened when Abraham Lincoln goes to the theater? He was shot by a 26 year-old actor, and Mark Killman, one of the character on stage, a director, researched and studied and decided the actor killed the president because he was an actor, and he wanted to have a show of his own, one that people of generations to come will forever remember. Mark Kill man made a good point. Who can still remember the writer of the play Abraham Lincoln watched that night if the president had not been assassinated?

Mark Killman was ambitious to find out what happened that night, and what stories hid behind the assassination. He hired 2 actors to play president vs gunman, actress on the stage of the show that night vs her boyfriend to explore what could have happened that night, but in the end he wants to be the waxed president at the final stage. But while Mark Killman directed his show, he became ill. No one found anything abnormal about him since abnormality was the norm for him, like staring without movement for 20 minutes, clenching his fist in the air for minutes. He just died! But the odd thing was that he performed a weird dance before he dropped to his death.

The 2 actors hired another director to continue with the show. The new director was obsessed with Mark Killman, and tried to find out Mark's full intention for the show. At the same time, one actor was in love with another and killed him when the other dropped him for better acting opportunities.

Then another 2 actors were hired to play.... and of course Mark Killman's intention for the show was uncovered.

So who was on the stage?
Actor A and B, Mark Killman
A and B playing gunman, president, actor, actress
Second set of A, B, director

Hm. Now it does not sound complicated. The actors were pretty good though. That was a totally good show.
