INFAMOUS THE MUSICAL
Is an original work by playwright David Owen Michaels.
This work explores the historical events that led to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln through the eyes of his assassin, John Wilkes Booth, and the persecution that gripped the nation for the 12 days that immediately followed. Michaels uses a wide range in his musical composition, along with beautifully crafted lyrics that really encapsulate the feel of the time. This work is already available for readings, workshops and productions. If you are interested in putting on an “infamous” production or exploring its possibilities, please contact Mr. Michaels through our contact page.
