​

Tom Taylor's woefully neglected comedy.

Yes, the hit play President Lincoln was watching  that fateful night.

A classic "fish out of water" melodrama, adapted by Lance Davis to 70 fun-filled minutes. Kentucky rube Asa Trenchard invades England to claim his inheritance, the oh-so-proper Victorian Ravensdale estate.

​

"You sockdollagizin' old mantrap!"

(The biggest laugh in the play, which Booth knew would muffle the fatal shot.)

​

Perfect for stage, classroom, or living room reading. Audience participation! "Boo!" "Hiss!" "Yay!" Ages 12+
