New Releases by Betty Smith

In which young Lincoln meets his new mother. Of all the long list of popular one-act plays written by Betty Smith, The boy, Abe, executed with masterful dramatic finesse, is probably the most beautiful and touching. On a small canvas, and with real understanding of a boy''s heart, she has created a deeply moving play, portraying a little-known side of Abraham Lincoln''s early emotional life. An 1819 Indiana log cabin schoolhouse background lends just the right amout of humor for a thoroughly enjoyable performance.
