 Stephen Sondheim’s daring and provocative musical which explores the lives of the nine men and women that attempted to assassinate presidents of the United States of America. Mirroring the plot of the story, the design is divided by a large wall, representing two sides of history. One is the side in  which the assassins reside, telling their story from their perspective and sharing the reasons they were right to do why they did. The latter is the side of history in where each aggression occurs. This division of space assisted in the characters telling each of their stories, and reinforced the ambiguity of the individuals they wanted to kill.
