Background
ASSASSINS is the odd story about nine individuals who over time have
attempted to assassinate the President of the United States. The show
explores the inner motives of each assassin. Eventually, each
individual must confront the fact that committing the ultimate crime
failed to assuage their personal problems. In the end, the assassins
return in 1963 to convince Lee Harvey Oswald to shoot President
Kennedy. They hold firm to their delusion that Oswald is a Savior who
can justify the assassins' actions.
