Here's an oddity for you from my library.
Drinkwater, John (1919). Abraham Lincoln: A Play With an Introduction by Arnold Bennet. Boston, MA & New York, NY: Houghton Mifflin Company.
John Drinkwater, an Englishman, wrote this play about Lincoln in the waning years of WWI (1917-1918).
In his introduction, he maintains that while he stays true to the history of Lincoln, he does take dramatic license with the moments in which Lincoln creates the history.
Frankly, I'd like to see this play reworked just a bit & performed on Broadway some time.
Anyone else familiar w/it?
