THE FRENCH QUARTER CONNECTION by Mark Leonard

Did a New Orleans mobster engineer the assassination of a Kennedyesque president of the United States in the 1960s? Mark Leonard’s new play, The French Quarter Connection, asks this question and goes one step further, revealing how this president’s legendary brother, an Irish-Catholic senator from New York, tried to cut a deal years later with the Sicilian-born mobster so he could run for the presidency. The French Quarter Connection focuses not so much on a parallel to the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, but the personal and brutal conflict between a politician based on Robert F. Kennedy and a fictional mafia boss with a French Quarter address.
