Oh, Mary!

Oh, Mary! is a new play by Cole Escola, who also stars in this production. It’s a darkly comedic take on Mary Todd Lincoln, exploring her life and psyche with a contemporary edge. Escola's writing and performance style often blends sharp wit with a sense of the absurd, so expect something beyond a traditional historical drama. This Saturday matinee at the Emerson Colonial Theatre in Boston offers a chance to see a new theatrical work from a distinctive voice. The Colonial is a classic theater space, well-suited for a play that balances humor with deeper themes. It should appeal to those who appreciate innovative theater and character-driven comedy.
