  3. The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln

    Mrs. Lincoln --> Sara
    Abraham --> Onur
    Booth --> Anne-Mieke

    The president and his wife step into the presidential booth (applauding sounds)

    Abraham: (Sits down on rocking chair) so what is this play called now again?

    Mrs. Lincoln: “Our American Cousin”. Oh honey, shame on you. You should have known that!

    Abraham: Sorry sweetie. There has just been a lot on my mind with the whole George S.E. Vaughn issue. I am so relieved to finally take it easy and watch this play!

    Mrs. Lincoln: And you deserve this. It is hard work being the president of the United States. And I am so proud of you (holds Abrahams hand).

    Abraham: Thanks. You have really been supportive to me as well. I love you.
    Mrs. Lincoln: I love you too. Now shh! The show’s about to start.

    Booth: (behind a curtain in the corner of the stage) I can’t believe that I am finally here, only five meters away from Abraham Lincoln! Oh, I have been planning this for so many years, and now the moment has come. This is going to be an END to Lincoln and what was to become of him, and a beginning of a new revolution. MUAHAHAHAAA!

    Mrs. Lincoln: Oh! Did you hear something, Abraham?

    Abraham: Hmm? I didn’t hear a thing! Stop being so nervous… Isn’t this a marvelous play? I am so glad that we are here.

    Mrs. Lincoln: Yes, it is truly an amazing play. (Looks around nervously, then turns to watch play.)

    Booth: Whoa that was a close one. I was almost busted. I gotta say, never really liked this first lady. Maybe I should take a shot at her too. No, no, no, what am I saying. It is Abraham I am focused at. He will die in only a few minutes. An end to all of this horror.

    Mrs. Lincoln: Abrahaaam (grabs him by the arm and shakes him). I keep hearing things from behind the curtain!

    Abraham: Oh, honey, give it a rest, will you? I don’t know why you’re so paranoid all of a sudden… There is nothing behind that curtain and there is nothing to be worried about. Now please. Can we just watch the play!?

    Mrs. Lincoln: Oh, you’re right. (Talks softer)It’s weird. I just have a bad feeling... Oh, whatever.

    Abraham: (grunts)

    Booth: Oh, that Mrs. Lincoln… She is really starting to annoy me now. She should just stop interfering or she might ruin my plans!

    Mrs. Lincoln: Ok, that’s it! Someone is talking behind that curtain for sure! I’m going to check. You just sit here and watch the play.

    Abraham: Huh? Oh… Ok then, have fun.

    (Mrs. Lincoln starts creeping towards the curtain slowly while Booth talks)

    Booth: Oh no, OH NO! What am I going to do! She’s coming right this way! I better just shoot the president now and end this!

    Mrs. Lincoln: Hello? Who’s there! I demand an answer! (Pulls curtain back and sees Booth) Ahh! Who are you!?

    (Booth pushes her to the floor and points a gun at Lincoln)

    Abraham: What is going on back there? (Looks surprised when he sees booth) Oh my goodness! Who… what…?

    Booth: Your days of presidency are over, (sarcastically) sir.

    (Booth shoots Lincoln. Booth jumps off ‘balcony’ onto ‘stage’)

    Mrs. Lincoln: ABRAHAM! NO! (Crawls over to Abraham and cries over him) CATCH THAT MAN! GET HIM! LET HIM ROT IN PRISON! Oh, Abraham… No… (Continues crying).

    Booth: Sic semper tyrannis! (Stands up and limps off stage quickly)
