The Widow Lincoln

[L Verge]

I'm not sure why this is posted under The Widow Lincoln. If it is the same play that was at Ford's a number of years ago, The Heavens Are Hung in Black is not about the assassination. It is rather a political play (and a long one) about Lincoln's plights in 1862 with the Union army slow to make progress and the pressures bearing upon him by abolitionists to take a stand on the slavery issue.

Here's the review from the Washington Post at that time:
