"Madame Surratt: A Drama in Five Acts" by J. W. Rogers explores the controversial figure of Mary Surratt and her involvement in the conspiracy to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War's aftermath, the play delves into the events leading up to Lincoln's assassination and the subsequent trial and execution of Surratt.
Rogers crafts a compelling narrative that examines the motivations and circumstances surrounding Surratt, a woman accused of aiding and abetting John Wilkes Booth and his fellow conspirators. The drama invites audiences to consider the complexities of guilt, justice, and the tumultuous period in American history.
First published in 1912, this historical drama offers a glimpse into the social and political climate of post-Civil War America, raising questions about the fairness of the legal process and the role of women in times of national crisis.
