One Destiny by Richard Hellesen

This original play tells the story of the events surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth at the end of the Civil War. Using only minimal props and costumes and with no set or lighting requirements, One Destiny is a perfect way for classes, community groups or theatre companies to explore the impact of Lincoln’s assassination through performance.

A limited number of scripts can be provided at no cost to teachers in schools with demonstrated financial need. For more information, please send an inquiry to education@fords.org.
