it is November 25, 1864. A Nation divided. Families torn asunder. Abraham Lincoln has just been re-elected. The Civil War that has claimed more than half a million lives is finally nearing a bloody end. Amidst this turmoil, legendary stage actor Edwin Booth has gathered his brothers Junius and John Wilkes for a benefit performance of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar”. Edwin hopes the shared stage might heal the strained family ties with his brother, John. However, he soon discovers their house to be more divided and the situation more dangerous than he imagined. What is John Wilkes planning to do and how far might a brother’s love go in preventing a tragedy? Long-held resentments rise to the surface as Edwin tries to reconcile the volatile relationship and dispel the gathering shadows that threaten to destroy the family legacy and his life’s work. Drawing historical parallels to today's political divisions, "Winter Garden" is a turbulent exploration of brotherly love, sibling rivalry, and the fragile nature of legacy.
