Actors Hunter, Neeson  to perform at LoC next week
Hollywood star power returns to the Hill on Monday, as Liam Neeson and Holly Hunter portray Abraham and Mary Lincoln at the Library of Congress.
The Oscar-winning Hunter (“The Piano”) and Oscar-nominated Neeson (“Schindler’s List”) take the lead roles in “The Lincoln Family Album.” Written by Harold Holzer of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the production presents the letters and public speeches of the Lincolns, along with photographs of their family.
The 7 p.m. performance caps a day of meetings by the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, which Congress chartered to plan a “fitting and proper” celebration of Lincoln’s 200th birthday in 2009.
The performance is free and open to the public, but tickets, available through Ticketmaster, are required.
The practice ought to serve Neeson well. He is set to portray the 16th president in an upcoming Steven Spielberg film based on Doris Kearns Goodwin’s recent book, Team of Rivals.
