Interesting. Parts of it started to grate on me as debates often bore me but it was interesting that they remained cordial to each other.Written on Jan 30 2012

This was top shelf......There isn't a bad seat in the house at Kanabar Hall, JCCSF. But our seats happened to be great. In the back with no obstructions. Accoustics were fabulous. This play was fantastic. The caliber of the actors was awesome, the interpretation was interesting, the delivery was terrific. This was better than many other shows I've seen at some of the larger houses.Written on Jan 30 2012

Description
An LA Theatre Works Production
Susan Albert Loewenberg, Producing Director
As we commemorate the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War, Norman Corwin’s riveting theatrical depiction of the Lincoln-Douglas debates uses original dialogue to bring to life the fierce competition between the future President and the incumbent Senator as they tackled the searing controversy of the era: slavery and the American concept of freedom. The Rivalry features Robert Parsons (Black August, Almost Famous and Nash Bridges) and Josh Clark (Heroes, Star Trek: Voyager and Pretty Little Liars) and raises questions that are still hotly debated today.
