Theater
Speakeasy Dollhouse: ‘The Brothers Booth’
Saturday, 8 p.m.
The Players Club
16 Gramercy Park South
$75; 212-475-6116
Cynthia von Buhler’s second chapter to her Speakeasy Dollhouse series (the first entitled “The BloodyBeginning”) tells the tale of sibling rivalry between brothers John Wilkes and Edwin Booth. Set at the Players Club (the former home of Edwin Booth) the performance is a unique time-traveling experience and includes live jazz, moonshine and burlesque. Is von Buhler’s assertion that Lincoln was assassinated as a result of this sibling rivalry accurate? It’s an interesting take, in any event.
