"Our American Cousin" is best known as the play President Abraham Lincoln was watching when he was assassinated at Ford's Theatre, but it is so much more!  This 1858 British farce contains Wit, Confusion, and Romance!  Will the "American Savage" from Vermont get his vengeance among his British cousins?  Will the milkmaid get her fortune?  Will Mrs. Mountchessington succeed in setting up her daughter in marriage? Is Georgina's "delicate nature" for real? And what has Lord Dundreary's hair dye to do with it all?  Come experience a Victorian play!  "Our American Cousin" was a wildly popular 19th century comedy and is still enjoyable today!
