An actor-John Wilkes Booth-assassinates Abraham Lincoln during a performance of Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre in Washington. It is April 14, 1865, Good Friday. Mark Killman-a feared but much admired director-draws inspiration from this historical fact to create a show about the schizophrenia of America. He hires two actors to reenact the Presidential assassination through the comic characters of Laurel and Hardy. And he keeps for himself the role of Abraham Lincoln's wax figure. Why is Mark Killman interested in this political assassination? Why does he want to stage a tragedy using the means of a comedy? And by the way, who is really hiding behind Abraham Lincoln's wax figure?

After work, you'll have only one thought: To go to sleep to forget what a monster I am.” »
