Michael Jordan was written by Michael Boughn in 1999. The book details the life and unbelievable career of Michael Jordan.

In that play’s first act we watch a black man who has fashioned a career for himself: He sits in an arcade impersonating Abraham Lincoln and letting people come and play at shooting him dead—like John Wilkes Booth shot our sixteenth president in 1865 during a performance at Ford’s Theatre. So I was thinking about my old play when another black Lincoln impersonator, unrelated to the first guy, came to mind: a new character for a new play. This time I would just focus on his home life. This new Lincoln impersonator’s real name would be Lincoln. He would be a former 3-card monte hustler.
