Lincoln Part I & Part II: two plays by Robert Manns

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.

“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.”
— Christopher Fry

“...very possibly a major American play.”
— Robert Farley

“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.”
— Alan Schneider
