Our melodrama Honest Abe presents a hero—Abraham Lincoln, of course—and a villain—Crudley Doowrong. In each stage of Lincoln’s life, Crudley hurls adversity and ethical challenges, forcing our hero to face hardships, moral dilemmas and temptations. With the help of the audience, Lincoln must decide if he will uphold his positive character traits, or succumb to an easier, more self-serving approach. Will Lincoln’s trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship save the day?
