Abstract

Abstract Abstract: Alex McLean reviews Larry Tremblay’s Abraham Lincoln Goes to the Theatre, in English translation by Chantal Bilodeau, as staged at the 2010 Enbridge PlayRites Festival. The review examines how – in text and production – cultural memory is reenacted to portray Tremblay’s vision of an American psyche scarred by violence.
