John Wilkes Booth saga reflects modern US: ‘Mad Men' creator
(NewsNation) — Matthew Weiner, creator of the television series 'Mad Men,' set his sights on Abraham Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth in an attempt to understand why people do terrible things. He says the biographical play he wrote, currently in production in Baltimore for a possible Broadway run, raises troubling parallels with today's United States. 'Everything in the play sounds contemporary. Every single argument about North and South, rich and poor, white and Black — every single aspect is going on right now in this country,' Weiner tells 'Elizabeth Vargas Reports.'
