WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
When Friday, November 22, 1963, comes to an end, John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States & Police Officer, J.D. Tippit, both lie dead in Dallas. Amidst the chaos that ensues, an evasive Lee Harvey Oswald is arrested & becomes the number one suspect. It is the job of Captain William Fritz to extract a confession. As evidence mounts, defiance is Oswald's only defense. Based on the bristling & explosive actual interrogation of Lee Harvey Oswald by Dallas Chief of Homicide, Captain William J. Fritz, what unfolds in Oswald is 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.

RE:Oswald
Somewhat of a JFK conspiracy geek, I have to say I was pleased! Jonathan Miles gives justice to his creation of Dallas Chief Fritz. Miles is a previous real life lawyer, and those true life experiences shine in his performance. Tim Intravia definitely looked the part of Oswald. During my viewing of a preview performance, he seemed a bit stiff in his characterization. I have faith he will grow more into this role. Matt McClure, a local NYC anchorman, displays a realistic, sturdy ease in the role of Jim Leavelle. Daniel Hicks also turns in a solid performance as DA Bill Alexander, and Sky Adams has fun with the role of the eager cop, Sims. The rest of the cast of eight have numerous rotating roles and do a good job with each. One stand out is Josh Rhett Noble and his portrayal of lawyer Louis Nichols and agent Jim Hosty. Noble gives a defined characterization to each role and a true to life realism. All in the all, I feel as though this show has great potential.
