The story

Set in the days leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, Oh, Mary! follows a fictionalized, boozy, and delirious Mary Todd Lincoln as she stumbles through parties, power plays, and her own personal chaos. With a cast of historical misfits and plenty of darkly comic twists, the play asks: what if history’s most famous First Lady was the messiest guest at the White House? You’ll have to see it to find out just how far Mary will go.
