Based on the bristling & explosive actual interrogation of Lee Harvey Oswald by Dallas Chief of Homicide, Captain William J. Fritz, OSWALD brings one of the most engrossing battles ever brought to the stage, as a defiant 24 year-old, tight-lipped young man goes up against the best homicide detective the Dallas Police Department has to offer. There was no stenographer & no film or audio tapes of those interrogations, just handwritten notes by Fritz. Forty eight hours & seven minutes after the President of the United States was shot & killed, there was another shot in Dallas. That shot was for Lee Harvey Oswald.
Playwright Dennis Richard’s past productions include Wreck (Richmond Shepard Theatre, 2010) Park Keeper, The Pepper-Pot Dwarf & the Gargoyle (American Center for the Performing Arts, Boston), A Suite of Rooms & Sea Listeners (86th Street Playhouse, NYC), Territory (ATA, NYC), Twisted Steel (Burbage Theatre, LA) & the World Premiere of OSWALD in New York City, this past summer.
