Written and Directed by Anthony E. Gallo
This two-act drama examined our sixteenth President’s conflict with men and God through defeats, triumphs, and tragedies during the Civil War. Did he hear God in the dialogue, actions, and words of wife Mary, the Reverend Phineas Gurley, friends, colleagues, and enemies? Abraham Lincoln is the only American President who did not claim church membership. What was this relationship with God all about . Was he an American Moses….or an American Herod? Remain for lively discussion afterward. No charge
