Capturing Johnson’s passionate and aggressive attempts to build a great society for all, "The Great Society" follows his epic triumph in a landslide election to the agonizing decision not to run for re-election just three years later. It was an era that would define history forever: the rise of the Civil Rights Movement, the deaths of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, the destruction of Vietnam, and the creation of some of the greatest social programs America has ever known—and one man was at the center of it all: LBJ. Part II of "The LBJ Plays."

This is the second of Schenkkan's pieces celebrating LBJ, following 2014's "All the Way."  It had its World Premiere in 2014 in a joint production of Seattle Rep and Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
