    My dad was John Hinckley's lawyer in 81, and when we went to see this production and he saw Alexander Gemignani sand 'Unworthy of your love' he nudged me and said, "My God, they nailed him."

      William Craig but considering he stalked someone and attempted a presidential Assassination it’s pretty light. The mental institution was probably in his best interest imo bc he was clearly mentally unwell

      +madgrinchhatter No, but you can see them at the library branch that's part of Lincoln Center. Theoretically, you need a "good reason," like you're doing academic work on it, or writing an article, or preparing your own production.
