Amidst the lurid debris of a traveling carnival, a Proprietor invites nine would-be Assassins to step up to the mark and hit the target in return for a glittering prize. As he hands out guns with a glib invitation, "c'mere and kill a President", we are introduced to a collection of America's most disturbing characters from John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald. This killer black comedy takes a provocative lens to the dreams, distortions and delusions of nine infamous Americans.
This outstanding debut production by Watch This received three Green Room Award nominations including Best Musical Direction, Luke Byrne, and Best Supporting Actors, Matt Holly and Nick Simpson-Deeks.
