In The Truth About Abraham Lincoln hagiography and biography are reduced to the form of a true/false quiz unfolding in un-peopled, imaginary miniature settings which attempt to provide a ‘lace’ for historical events while mirroring ways in which history is selected and constructed. These true and false statements are periodically interrupted by an actor’s dramatic reenactment of events from Lincoln’s life in which biographical portrayal and historical representation are positioned as an act of ‘drag’ performance.
