O Jackie!

Bag om O Jackie!

Andrew Brewster Crawford, A.K.A: "A.B.C.", a playwright obsessed with the glamour, glory, and gloom of the Kennedy era, has written a play about the last day of J.F.K.'s life in order to cast himself as the martyred president, win the love of a beautiful "Jackie Kennedy type" and live happily ever after in a Camelot of his own creation. He's got the great man down. The wind-swept haircut. The sailing-ready nautical digs. The Boston-by-way-of-Harvard accent. The easy witticisms to defuse tension. But in A.B.C.'s quest to fashion himself after his hero, J.F.K., and mount his magnum opus, he conducts himself more like L.B.J., a man who believed that the quickest route from point A to point B ran underground. O Jackie! is a story about the internal and external chaos created when an artist with both a superman and an inferiority complex chooses to be the self he wishes he was, instead of the self he truly is.
