Before his brother assassinated Lincoln , Edwin had appeared with his two brothers , John Wilkes and Junius Brutus Booth Jr. , in '' Julius Caesar '' in 1864 . John Wilkes played Marc Antony , Edwin played Brutus , and Junius played Cassius . It was a benefit performance , and the only time that the three brothers appeared together on the same stage . The funds were used to erect a statue of William Shakespeare that still stands in Central Park just south of the Promenade . Immediately afterwards , Edwin Booth began a production of '' Hamlet '' on the same stage , which came to be known as the " hundred nights '' Hamlet '' " , setting a record that lasted until John Barrymore broke the record in 1922 , playing the title character for 101 performances
