'JFK on JFK' was first written as a stage play by Michael and then performed by him at the Stella Adler theatre in Los Angeles. It received very good reviews, samples of which can be found on this website.
This latest adventure is an adaptation of his play in a slightly shortened format. But the essence is the same. We take a journey with JFK through his presidency and his life, all happening in his mind after that first gun shot in Dallas. It is a mental and spiritual journey, touching on both highs and lows, the pressures of the cold war, Bay of pigs, Berlin, the Cuban missile crisis, as well as the challenges of the emerging civil rights movement, his civil rights bill, and the escalating war in Vietnam. The echo of a police radio reporting that, “Something has happened, something has happened to the motorcade”, repeats each time a possible cause of his assassination is hit upon. The growing rapidity of this echo builds toward that fatal trip to Dallas.
