The final scene in Drinkwater's dramatic masterpiece, "Abraham Lincoln," showing the small lounge back of the boxes in Ford's
Theatre the evening of April 14, 1865, just a few minutes before John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Lincoln. Frank
McGlynn gives us an exceedingly successful portrait of Lincoln in this profoundly moving chronicle play of the martyred
President's life. Not to see ''Abraham Lincoln" at the Cort is to miss the most deeply stirring evening that Broadway can provide.
