David S TraubDavid S. Traub, Jr. is a Philadelphia-based playwright, author, and architect. Born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1941, his early childhood was spent in a house that in 1841 was on the grounds of the Farmington plantation. In August 1841 Abraham Lincolnvisited Joshua Speed for three weeks at his plantation. Traub had often imagined that Lincoln and Speed during the sojourn rode on horseback across what later became his front yard. In 2006 these imaginings gave rise to his idea for the play Lincoln in Louisville, produced in 2015 at Louisville's Alley Theatre. Traub has more recently written a play, Woodford Place, a dramatization of his childhood growing up in Louisville presented also at the Alley Theatre in 2018. Another of his plays, Train to Essex Junction, is scheduled for production in 2021. Read More Read Less
