Birdland Theatre with Talk is Free Theatre present ASSASSINS
Feb 04 - Feb 20, 2010
BirdLand Theatre, winner of 5 Dora
Awards for The Last Days of Judas
Iscariot, with Talk is Free Theatre
première the bold, original,
surreal, thought provoking and
alarmingly funny musical Assassins.
Adam Brazier will direct John
Weidman and Stephen Sondheim’s
critically acclaimed musical.
Part vaudeville extravaganza, part
exposé, and wholly electrifying,
Assassins is a dark and
controversial Tony Award-winning
musical about the American dream
gone awry. This wickedly comic
one-act historical “revusical” lays
bare the.lives of nine individuals
who assassinated, or tried to
assassinate, various presidents of
the United States. From John Wilkes
Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald,
Sondheim and Weidman bend the rules
of time and space, taking us on a
nightmarish rollercoaster ride in
which assassins and would-be
assassins from different historical
periods meet, interact and in an
intense final scene inspire each
other to harrowing acts all in the
name of the American Dream.
