My overall impression

Amazing show to say the least! A well written historical drama that tells the story often overlooked when discussing John Wilkes Booth that will keep you captivated the whole way through! Dialogue that not only brings another dimension to an often single sided character but plenty of chuckle moments to keep you wanting more. A wonderfully chosen cast includes standout performances by Adam Wylie as the controversial Booth, Vince Major as the older brother he idolized, and Eryn Guyton as the sister who knew him best. Wylie creates a character that the audience wants to sympathize with, from a sweet impressionable young boy to a man who loves his family and only did what he truly thought was best. Major gives a stunning performance as the alcoholic older brother that Booth looks up to, and Guyton was amazing as the strong sister that wanted nothing more than the best for her brother. Absolutely recommend everyone to see this!
