Habría sido uno de los juicios criminales más relevantes en la historia de los Estados Unidos. Pero un único disparo impidió que se celebrara. Este extraordinario drama se atreve a preguntar qué hubiera ocurrido si Lee Harvey Oswald hubiera vivido para ser sometido a juicio por el asesinato del presidente John F. Kennedy. Un excelente reparto, que incluye a Lorne Greene, Ben Gazzara y John Pleshette, dan vida a este hipotético escenario donde en una fascinante batalla judicial se plantean las controvertidas cuestiones que aún persiguen al pueblo americano. ¿Actuó Oswald solo? ¿O quizá se trataba de una conspiración que involucraba al FBI, la CIA y el crimen organizado?

Grekov
This powerful drama about the social ferment that culminated in the 1917 Russian Revolution is set on an estate in provincial Russia in 1905. In a sun-dappled garden, some factory owners and their wives discuss the unrest among the workers. Rather than submit to a strike, they decide to close down the factory. When an owner is slain in a scuffle with a workman, the ensuing investigation uncovers the socialist fervor that is sweeping the countryside. The play goes beyond depicting class struggle by keenly examining the gulfs between youth and old age, vision and shortsightedness, and conservatism versus change.
