RE: Our American Assassin, or You Can’t Handle The Booth - Theatre In The Round
Some people might argue that at a distance of 150 years it's "safe" to make the assassination a topic of comedy/satire.I can't agree. So many lives were destroyed that night, and not just that of President Lincoln and his family. Murder isn't funny period, but a presidential assassination will never have true comedy potential ever, imo.

I feel the same way about the murders of presidents Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy. Those are traumatic events in the nation's history that I would just as soon not see turned into something to laugh about.
