An Evening with Abraham Lincoln
Burdalls Yard, Bath, BA1 5NH
Friday 12th June 2026
Award-winning Lincoln presenter Jacob Truax brings his acclaimed one-man show to Bath
Burdall's Yard will host An Evening with Abraham Lincoln, a compelling one-man performance by Jacob Truax, for one night only
A powerful blend of history, theatre, and storytelling comes to the stage with An Evening with Abraham Lincoln, a seventy-five-minute solo performance that illuminates one of America’s most iconic leaders through humour, humanity, and unforgettable oratory.
With anecdotes both heart-warming and heart-rending, Abraham Lincoln recounts the extraordinary arc of his life — from his difficult frontier childhood to the marriage, family, and legal and legislative successes that eventually elevated him to the presidency. Woven throughout are some of Lincoln’s most enduring speeches, including Lincoln’s Lecture on Law, the House Divided speech, the Second Inaugural Address, and the show’s powerful finale, The Gettysburg Address.
Part performance, part historical reflection, An Evening with Abraham Lincoln is entertaining, educational, humourous, and poignant — leaving audiences with a deeper appreciation for the wit, compassion, and statesmanship of the sixteenth president of the United States.
