Oh Mary! at the Trafalgar Theatre

The Trafalgar Theatre, London

Mary Todd Lincoln as Never Seen Before

The 11th of May to the 3rd of August 2024

Oh, Mary! brings an uproarious and irreverent take on Mary Todd Lincoln to the Trafalgar Theatre in London’s West End, inviting audiences into an 80-minute theatrical ride that feels both wildly funny and defiantly original.

Written by Cole Escola and carrying its critically acclaimed Broadway success across the Atlantic, this Tony-winning play focuses on Mary in the final weeks before Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, portraying her not simply as a historical figure but as a restless, ambitious woman yearning for the stage and wrestling with desire, rivalry and unfulfilled dreams. The production is led by Mason Alexander Park in the title role, with a creative voice that blends sharp humour, camp energy and fiercely expressive performance to turn conventional history on its head. What unfolds is a fresh and audacious piece of theatre that delights in its own absurdity while surprising with moments of emotional clarity and wit. Funny, fast and defiantly off-beat, Oh, Mary! is a distinctive West End experience that appeals to lovers of daring storytelling and bold live performance, offering laughter and reflection in equal measure.
