Mr Lincoln October 24, 2009

Mr. Lincoln is an original play by Tom Klingenstein, which chronicles the reunion of two fictional characters who meet each other and Abraham Lincolnwhen he comes to New York in 1860 to deliver his Cooper Union speech. 'Mr. Lincoln' is at once a touching and bittersweet tale of love and a celebration of the power of Lincoln's character and words, and his ability to inspire others. It was written to complement the New-York Historical Society's exhibition on Lincoln and New York.
