In Herbert Mitgang’s play, Lincoln’s life flashes before him, from his early days as a lawyer, to President of the United States as the bullet does it dirty deed. During the 1980s, “Mr. Lincoln,” starring British actor Roy Dotrice, was performed in four countries. It opened in Canada before moving to Ford’s Theatre in Washington, D.C., and the Morosco Theater on Broadway. “Mr. Lincoln” was presented as the first Hallmark Hall of Fame drama on PBS.
