Summary
“If I told you what I really know about the assassination, it would be very dangerous to this country.” – J. Edgar Hoover, F.B.I.

The casting is very flexible – the original production was performed entirely by young people – and large TV screens are used around the stage to display and rear project photos and film of the Kennedys, America and the world.
