Reviews
An interesting exercise in trying to explain the assassination of JFK, this was written for the 3rd anniversary. It is flawed by excessive exposition, too much repetition, and a very long prologue that purports to present the evidence without opinion, and then details the conspiracy theory that Oswald did not act alone. This is clearly just so much political propaganda, which can work in a play if it is done well. This was not done particularly well.
