SDC Observer
Oh, Mary! is a dark comedy starring Cole Escola as a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Unrequited yearning, alcoholism, and suppressed desires abound in this one-act play that finally examines the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs. Lincoln through the lens of an idiot (Cole Escola).
Oh, Mary opened at the Lucille Lortel Theater on February 8th, 2024. The production transferred to Broadway’s Lyceum Theater on July 11, 2024
