New
Play, "Charles Lindbergh: The Lone Eagle",
Examines The Life And Times Of An American Icon
One
Man Show Offers New Insight into Lindbergh's Life
"The Lone Eagle" was just one of many nicknames given to Charles
Lindbergh by the press after he became the first pilot to fly nonstop
from New York to Paris in May of 1927. Steve Carroll, who wrote and performs
this one-man show for Dreamscape Productions, feels it was an apt description
of the man. "Almost everything Lindbergh did, he did alone. Whether
it was flying the Atlantic, heading his son's kidnapping investigation,
or making a stand against World War II, he always seemed to be taking
on the world all by himself." Mr. Carroll's play was originally written
to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Lindbergh's birth, and the 75th
anniversary of the flight to Paris, which occurred in 2002. Today, it
continues to attract an enthusiastic and diverse audience."I'm very
excited about this project," he says. "I wrote the play to reach
a large audience, from kids today who want to learn about history to the
older generations who lived through Lindbergh's time. The play is also
a searing character study of a man driven by his indomitable will and
ambition, who unwillingly became the media's first 'superstar'. He suffered
terribly for it, losing his privacy, a normal family life, and his firstborn
son."
"Charles Lindbergh:
The Lone Eagle", written by and starring Steve Carroll and directed
by Billy Stone, is now accepting new bookings, subject to availability.
