Lincoln Part I & Part II

<p>Two verse plays that begin with the inauguration of President Abraham Lincoln and end with his assassination. LINCOLN is backgrounded by the entire length of the Civil War; portraits of Stanton Lee Meade Grant and other principals; and numbers of common soldiery. Epic in size the plays are also noted for their accuracy and the trenchant driving rhythms of the verse.</p><p>You found a trenchant driving rhythm for the verse something that is all your own. It wasn't imposed on the characters: it spoke for them. <br> - Christopher Fry</p><p>...very possibly a major American play. <br> - Robert Farley</p><p>I consider Robert Manns one of the most talented...playwrights in the generation not yet recognized by the commercial theater...His choice of style is unique; his imagination boundless; and his dedication intense. And I belive he has a real gift for the theater. <br> - Alan Schneider</p>
