Assassins is a musical about the people who have tried to kill a President of the United States. Around a fairground shooting gallery, would-be and successful assassins from different eras, among them John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald and John Hinckley, meet and compare their motives, as the show asks why so many Americans have sought to give violence a voice.
The musical has music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, composer of Sweeney Todd and Company, and a book by John Weidman; its 2004 Broadway production won five Tony Awards. This new Old Vic production is directed by Artistic Director Rupert Goold, whose work includes Ink and King Charles III, and the cast is still to be announced. A dark, satirical Sondheim musical that looks at American history through the eyes of its outsiders.
