Summary: Interesting, informative and very readable
Comment: The plays in the History's Project's "Character in Time: The US Presidents" series are interesting and informative and, above all, very readable. People unfamiliar with reading plays should not be put off by the format -- after a few minutes time, it seems perfectly natural to read dialogue instead of normal prose. Students, especially, will appreciate the playwright's artful distillation of the subject's ideas and philosophy, as well as the lively presentation of his character -- there's really a lot of information packed into these small volumes.

Summary: A play for our time.
Comment: Our faith in this country's first president as a mythological icon is warmly dispelled through this entertaining account of a man whose daily angst, to the largest extent, so identifiably resembles our own. The read is quick but the remembrances will remain. This play is an excellent vehicle to combat the shallow, pedantic versions of presidential history to which most of us have been previously subjected.
