Robert Redford has recruited leading actors for his historical drama, The Conspirator, which focuses on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. According to Variety, the role of Mary Surrat, a conspiracy participant and the first woman in US history to be executed by a court sentence, will be played by Robin Wright-Penn. The role of the lawyer Frederick Aiken, who defended her at the trial, went to James McAvoy. Redford plans to start movieing in October 2009. Recall that Mary Surrat was the owner of a private boarding house. She sympathized with the ideas of the Confederation and provided assistance to Lincoln's assassin, John Booth. However, her defender was sure that the woman had become only a pawn in someone's game and was trying to prove the inconsistency of the conclusions of the investigation.
