BWW Review: LINCOLNESQUE at Keegan Theatre
I really wanted to like "Lincolnesque." But, although it is presented well, the show struggles on a number of fronts and never quite reaches the heights of its aspirations.
LINCOLNESQUE Kicks Off Keegan Theatre's 2018-19 Season
The Keegan Theatre kicks off its 2018-19 season with John Strand's political comedy, Lincolnesque. Set on Capitol Hill during a mid-term election, Strand's play examines the ways that language can unify and inspire, and the connections we seek - with our own better natures as well as with each other - as we strive to survive in a world that can feel chaotic and corrupt.

Photo Flash: First Look at 1st Stage's BROADWAY BOUND
Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, the third and final installment of Neil Simon's acclaimed autobiographical trilogy finds Eugene Jerome and his older brother Stanley trying to break into the world of show business. While coping with their parents' crumbling marriage, the boys pursue their dream of becoming famous comedy writers by drawing from their surroundings to create a sketch about family antics. When their material is broadcast on the radio for the first time, their family is upset to hear a thinly-veiled portrait of themselves played for laughs...and they are not alone. This warm, gently humorous play is a welcome treat for the Holidays.
Keegan Theatre to Open Gore Vidal's THE BEST MAN on 1/25
The Keegan Theatre presents Gore Vidal's political corker The Best Man, opening January 25 at the Andrew Keegan Theatre in Washington, DC. A play about power, ambition, political secrets, ruthlessness and the race for the presidency, Vidal's The Best Man is set at the national convention where two candidates are vying for their party's nomination during the primary season. It's an inside look at the dirt-digging, double-dealing, triple-crossing chicanery of presidential electioneering. Filled with Vidal's trademark verbal fire, this darkly satirical drama resonates today as an exploration of how political and personal agendas can change the destiny of a nation.
