Oh, Mary!

Oh, Mary! is a new play by Cole Escola, who also stars as Mary Todd Lincoln. This solo dark comedy channels the historical figure's later life, blending historical detail with contemporary queer sensibilities. Escola is known for their sharp wit and character work, so expect a show that’s both funny and a little unsettling. This engagement at the Trafalgar Theatre in London on Thursday, November 19, 2026, offers a chance to see a distinctive piece of theater. It’s likely to appeal to those who appreciate experimental comedy, historical satire, and a more intimate, character-driven performance.
