This session: Oh Mary by Cole Escola

"Oh, Mary!" is a dark comedy that reimagines Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln's assassination. The play, written by Cole Escola, portrays a frustrated Mary, struggling with unrequited desires, alcoholism, and a stifling marriage. It's a comedic take on her life, not meant to be historically accurate, that explores her suppressed dreams and desires, particularly her passion for performing.

Read for a character or listen to plays with queer themes and/or queer playwrights.
