Abe Lincoln's Law Partner Comes to Homeplace Space is limited, and ticket information and reservations for both performances can be made by calling or e-mailing Phil Hanna at (270) 384-2894 or cphanna51@msn.com. By George Kolbenschlag The fifth show in this season's Homeplace on Green River's Shakespeare in the Barn series will be November 3 when veteran actor Robert Brock brings Abe Lincoln's law partner, Billy Herndon, who was born in Green County, back to life in his stage presentation of One Man's Lincoln. Herndon probably knew Lincoln better than anyone else. In addition to their strong friendship, he was Lincoln's law partner for 18 years. His biography of the 16th president paints a convincing and passionate portrait of Lincoln. In One Man's Lincoln, Robert Brock presents Billy Herndon in all his irascibility as he shares Herndon's story of a severely divided nation that was held together by the vision and will of an extraordinary, dignified, fierce and gentle man. When Lincoln left for the White House he told Herndon not to remove his name from the shingle hanging on the door because he would be back. As we all know, that was not to be. After Lincoln's assassination, Herndon dedicated his life to collecting materials and writing a biography of Lincoln's life. Herndon's critics labeled his work as a negative portrait of Lincoln and his wife Mary Todd. In Herndon's eyes, however, he presented Lincoln unvarnished, a great man in all his humanity, neither saint nor villain. Those who follow Herndon's life as it is relived on the stage at Homeplace may come to their own conclusions. Robert Brock is Lindsey Wilson's director of theater. He has directed more than 100 plays, 45 of those while at Lindsey Wilson. In addition to One Man's Lincoln he has performed one man shows of The Gospel of John, The Gospel of Mark, The Book of Revelations, and Mark Twain. He designed and supervised construction of the stage at Homeplace and has directed many plays and acted in many roles on many different stages. He has adapted his presentation of Billy Herndon from One Man's Lincoln by Wade Hall and brings it to the Homeplace stage with the assistance of the Kentucky Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The program at Homeplace on November 3 will include a fish fry prior to the show. The dinner begins at 5pmCT/6pmET and will be served until the show starts at 6pmCT/7pmET. Both are informal in keeping with the barn venue. Tickets are $20 for the dinner and show and $10 for the show alone. The final show of the year will be the Christmas portion of Handel's Messiah on Wednesday, December 5. It will be performed by the Lindsey Wilson Singers and the Concert Choir under the direction of Dr. Gerald Chafin. They will be accompanied by the Commonwealth Musicians. Space is limited, and ticket information and reservations for both performances can be made by calling or e-mailing Phil Hanna at (270) 384-2894 or cphanna51@msn.com. Homeplace is located at 5807 New Columbia Road (KY Highway 55), Campbellsville, KY.
