A fascinating dramatisation of a conspiracy theory surrounding Kennedy's assassination.

It's the 1990s, and Lynette, an ex-assistant editor at LIFE magazine, now living in obscurity, has gathered her family around her to celebrate her birthday. She has a secret that she needs to confide in them. In the 1960s, when she worked as an assistant on LIFE magazine, she was an 'unwilling' witness to the first showing of the (in)famous 'Zapruder' film about the assassination of Kennedy, which allegedly proved the theory that there was a second assassin. Chosen by her boss to hand over the film to the FBI, Lynette is the last surviving link in this particular chain of mysterious events. Thirty years later and the controversy still rumbles on: Will the retiring ex-Assistant forsake her and her family's anonymity for the sake of demonstrating this incontrovertible evidence to the world?

A satirical comedy about the Bay of Pigs invasion.

" . . . Rum and Coke [is] a wry, poignant look back at the can-do optimism and patriotic naivete that led the U.S. to stumble into the Bay of Pigs invasion. Playwright Keith Reddin, 29, was a child of four when CIA-backed Cuban insurgents made their disastrous landing in 1961, but he captures with compassion and accuracy the Kennedy Administration's fundamental miscalculation: the belief in a nonexistent Cuban underground that was only waiting for a signal of support to rise up and overthrow Fidel Castro. Reddin presents the Bay of Pigs fiasco as a dress rehearsal by America's best and brightest for their misjudgements in Vietnam. Some of the fumiest scenes depict the white-collar macho of bureaucrats who react to caution as a sign of deficient manhood . . . " —William A. Henry III, Time

Robert De Niro, Ralph Macchio, and Burt Young starred in this harrowing yet often hilarious first play by a young Hispanic playwright in a sold out, limited engagement on Broadway.

Cuba has great hopes for his son; what he doesn't know is that the boy has already succumbed to the lure of the streets and is fast becoming a heroin junkie.

A darkly comic fable of brotherly love and family identity is Suzan-Lori Parks's latest riff on the way we are defined by history. The play tells the story of Lincoln and Booth, two brothers whose names were given to them as a joke, foretelling a lifetime of sibling rivalry and resentment. Haunted by the past, the brothers are forced to confront the shattering reality of their future.

Once upon a time there was a theme park called the Great Hole of History. It was a popular spot for honeymooners who, in search of "post-nuptial excitement," would visit this hole and watch the daily historical parades. One of these visitors was a man who has now come to call himself The Foundling Father. He was a digger by trade—a grave digger—and he was struck by the size of the Hole and the pageantry of the place. He returns home with his wife, Lucy, a woman who keeps secrets for the dead, and together they start a mourning business. Unfortunately, our hero can't get the Great Hole pageantry out of his head; the echoes of history speak to him and call him to greatness.

At rise we meet this Foundling Father. He has left his wife and child and gone out west to dig a huge replica of the Great Hole of History. In the hole sits our hero. He is dressed like Abraham Lincoln, complete with beard, wart, frock coat and stove pipe hat. He tells us the story of his own life (in the third person) and tells us that he has become a very successful Abraham Lincoln impersonator! He's so successful that people actually pay a penny to re-enact Lincoln's assassination, using our impostor-hero and a phony gun. Eventually the Father dies and the second act sees his wife Lucy and thrity-five-year-old son, Brazil, a professional weeper, visit the hole to dig for his Father's remains. Listening to the past through her deaf-horn, Lucy hears echoes of gunshots and lurid stage-shows. When they dig up the Foundling Father's body (he's alive) they decide they have to lay him to rest for good. In the play's last image, his son is trying to climb a ladder out of the Hole of History while the Foundling Father sits starkly on his own coffin, refusing burial.
