The Brothers Booth -
A new play - is an imagined meeting of an actual, historical event. In November of 1864 Edwin Booth, the most famous actor of his age, and his younger brother Johnny (himself a matinee idol) performed in a benefit production of Shakespeare’s JUILIUS CEASAR, to raise money to erect a statue of Shakespeare in New York’s Central Park. This play imagines the evening after the play is done and the audience has gone home, where the two brothers sit and discuss family and politics. Each on the cusp of their most famous (or infamous) contribution to history. By The end of March 1865, Edwin will have played 100 performances of Hamlet on the Broadway stage (a feat not broken until half a century later) and on April 14th, Johnny (John Wilkes), will have assassinated Abraham Lincoln Gregory Rawlins plays Johnny and Grant Turner plays Edwin.
