I was a Broadway kid, so I've always dreamed about doing a show in the West End, she said. To get to do that in one of Shakespeares's most famous plays under Rob's direction with Noah will be such an exciting challenge. London theatre has this incredible energy, and I can't wait to be a part of it.

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.

On a journey West to rediscover himself, Jake (Locke) unexpectedly meets Chris (Mollica) - a kindred soul hiding in a night shift at a Costco in a rural American town. As their bond deepens, so does their sense of adventure. Maybe they could finally give life new meaning by chasing something more - like the intrepid explorers Lewis and Clark before them.
