FROM THE BARN THEATRE ARCHIVE

Assassins

By Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman
Directed by Keith Thompson
Musical Director Malcolm Dorling
Assistant Director Sylvia Pepper
22nd – 30th June 2001

Stephen Sondheim’s groundbreaking achievements in musical theatre attain a new level of audacity and accomplishment in his latest creation.

A fraternity of Presidential assassins and would-be assassins across a hundred years of history, including John Wilkes Booth, John Hinckley and Lee Harvey Oswald, examine their motives and their drive for power and celebrity in American society.

Imaginative, pleasurable and provocative.
