The Aussie Assassin

BY BILL STEPHENS, O.A.M.

“He was a superstar. He was a pin-up,” David Campbell says enthusiastically when asked about John Wilkes Booth. “As a Confederate, he hated the Civil War and was very much a dissenter of Lincoln’s presidency.

Company at Boston’s Lyric Stage

REVIEW BY DONALD P. GAGNON

How do you solve a problem like Company?
