Oh, Mary!

Oh, Mary! is a new play by Cole Escola, who also stars. This solo comedy show takes a look at Mary Todd Lincoln, exploring her inner world and the pressures she faced. Escola's style often blends sharp wit with a unique, slightly surreal take on historical figures and pop culture, so expect something distinct from a typical period drama. This London run at the Trafalgar Theatre on December 15, 2026, offers a chance to see a critically acclaimed piece that's generated a lot of conversation. It's a good fit for anyone interested in contemporary theater, character-driven comedy, or a fresh perspective on American history.
