"I love you more'n my own daddy, but if you get in my way, I'll crush you"
All the Way is a masterful exploration of politics and power from Pulitzer winner Robert Schenkkan
It tells the story of the tumultuous first year of the presidency of Lyndon Baines Johnson, thrust into power following Kennedy's assassination and struggling to hold onto the White House in an election that forces him to make concessions
In 1964, this pivotal year in American history, he passes a landmark civil rights bill, but begins his fateful descent into Vietnam
LBJ is fiercely determined to lift the country out of the ashes and rebuild it into "The Great Society"
By any means necessary
Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston played the lead role of LBJ in the play's celebrated Broadway performance at the Neil Simon Theatre, for which he was awarded the Tony Award for Best Actor
In this volume, Cranston provides a never-before-published illuminating and personal introduction to the play
