150 years before another Illinois Senator became the political phenomenon of our time, the Lincoln-Douglas debates electrified crowds with a series of groundbreaking confrontations that still have no equal in American statesmanship. Norman Corwin’s riveting play electrifies the stage with a close-up portrait of the two larger-than-life personalities, as well as the behind-the-scenes drama between the men and Stephen Douglas’s perceptive wife Adele. THE RIVALRY is a theatrical marvel featuring large sections of the 1858 debates themselves, revealing the astounding fact that some of the greatest American theatre ever performed came from two men who were not actors — named Lincoln and Douglas.
