Good Friday, 1865: Lincoln’s Last Day

By NHPR Staff on Monday, February 18, 2008.

The Exchange takes a break for this Presidents' Day special. Good Friday, 1865: Lincoln’s Last Day depicts the events around the Lincoln assassination… from the feelings of our nation days after the Civil War ended, to the character and beliefs of our sixteenth president to the eerie events that preceded Lincoln’s death. This radio play was produced before a live audience at the Museum of Television and Radio in New York City and its producer Craig Wichman was a recipient of a National Audio Theatre Best Script "Grand Prize" for this show.
