About Oh, Mary!

Oh, Mary! at Trafalgar Theatre, London is Cole Escola’s dark comedy about a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination.

Directed by Sam Pinkleton, the production received 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”.

Key facts: Running time 1 hour 20 minutes, with no interval.
