The life and writings of John Hinckley Jr. and
his attempted assassination of the president in 1980 constitute the raw
material for Why I Want to Shoot Ronald Reagan, a multi-layered epic
monologue which explores the intersections between fame, fan culture, madness
and America's cult of death. Why I Want to Shoot Ronald Reagan (performed
under a slightly different title in Edinburgh) was the first Riot Group
production to synchronize text with a continuous musical score. > see all reviews |
