About Oh, Mary!

Oh, Mary! at Trafalgar Theatre, London, is a dark comedy by Cole Escola, directed by Sam Pinkleton. It focuses on a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, with the story shaped around unrequited yearning, alcoholism and suppressed desires.

The London transfer is fronted by Mason Alexander Park and has been recognised with Tony Awards for Best Leading Actor in a Play (Cole Escola) and Best Direction of a Play (Sam Pinkleton). The New York Times described it as one of the best comedies in years.

Running time: 1 hour 20 minutes, no interval.
