A surreal carnival. And a group of people who have one thing in common: they want to assassinate the President of the United States.
Some succeed, some fail. But there's a prize for them all: a place in the history books.
John Wilkes Booth. Lee Harvey Oswald. Leon Czolgosz. Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme. John Hinckley. Charles Guiteau. Sara Jane Moore. Giuseppe Zangara. Samuel Byck. Men and women whose fervour took them to the very edge.

John Weidman's Tony Award-winning works include Contact as well two further collaborations with Sondheim, Road Show and Pacific Overtures.
