Remembered less as a hit comedy and more as a countdown of Abraham Lincoln's final moments, "Our American Cousin" was once one of the most popular plays on both sides of the Atlantic, and featured some of the top stars of 19th century theater.
When a distant Yankee relative arrives to claim an old English estate, the loves, lies, and loyalties that swirl about an aristocratic family undergo an American "revolution."
Though the play gave American history one of its saddest endings, we're pretty sure that Lincoln at least died laughing... or is it too soon?
