About

A dark, outrageous historical comedy play that reimagines Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks before her husband's assassination. Written by American comedian and playwright Cole Escola, it is a gleefully anachronistic, absurdist one-act show in which Mary is a foul-tempered alcoholic stuck in an unhappy marriage, dreaming of her days as a cabaret dancer. The West End transfer, starring Jinkx Monsoon and Catherine Tate, follows a multi-award-winning run on Broadway. The 80-minute production packs in rapid-fire gags and mayhem, ages 14 and up.
