#oh-mary

Set in a post-civil-war United States, the 80-minute, one-act production reimagines the final days of first lady Mary Todd Lincoln, the wife of US president Abraham Lincoln, into a twisted absurdist story of "history, heartbreak, and satire." In the weeks leading up to Abraham's assassination, a miserable, suffocated Mary reminsces over her forgotten hopes and dreams, which have melted into a puddle of unrequited yearning and alcoholism.
