Assassins by Stephen Sondheim

Assassins by Stephen Sondheim

Stephen Sondheim's groundbreaking achievements in musical theatre attain a new level of audacity and accomplishment in his latest creation, Assassins. Evoking a fraternity of Presidential assassins and would-be assassins across a hundred years of our history (including John Wilkes Booth, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, John Hinckley and Lee Harvey Oswald), he and collaborator John Weidman examine success, failure and the questionable drive for power and celebrity in American society. The result is an unusually imaginative and utterly idiosyncratic entertainment compounded equally of insight, pleasure, and provocation. Assassins is an important and permanent addition to the American stage.

Dr. John C. Weidman a Professor of Administrative and Policy Studies and Senior Associate in the Institute for International Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. Dr. Weidman has also served as the UNESCO Chair of Higher Education at Maseno University College in Kenya. Dr. Namgi Park is the Vice President of Planning at Kwangju National Teachers university in Korea. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh and is a member of the Advisory Committee to the Minister of Education in Korea.
