Description
Provides a portrait of the nineteenth century's greatest theatrical family, including: the flamboyant, alcoholic patriarch, Junius Booth; the restrained son Edwin, whose portrayal of Hamlet ran for an unprecedented 100 performances; and the handsome, enigmatic John, who murdered President Lincoln during a performance five days after Appomattox.
