tep into the life of Mary Lincoln, a First Lady battling grief, scandal, and the struggle to reclaim her public image. Turning to celebrity photographer Mathew Brady for help, their partnership unravels into a tense and politically charged struggle for control.
Bronagh Lagan (Cruise, Flowers for Mrs. Harris), directs Miriam Grace Edwards (One of the Boys, Romeo & Juliet), and Sam Jenkins-Shaw (The King and I, Twelfth Night) in this gripping one-act play that takes you behind the curtain of history, revealing the triumphs and tragedies of a woman ahead of her time.
With a richly textured script by acclaimed artist, playwright, and historian John Ransom Phillips, Mrs President has been described as “evocative” and “unmissable”. This brand new London production brings to life an intimate and politically charged portrait of America’s most misunderstood First Lady.
