A hilarious and subversive Off Broadway romp, 'Oh, Mary!' follows the outrageous and fantastical life of a reimagined Mary Todd, now a disgusting and repugnant drunk who dreams of a life on the stage.
For Halloween my senior year of high school, I went dressed as Sexy Abraham Lincoln. Brimming with newfound personal freedom and spunk, the idea came to me in small part because I kind of look like him and in large part because, well, it’s really fucking funny. As Cole Escola, the brilliant mind behind the hit new original play,, can attest, there’s a humor in taking something as ubiquitous as our second-most famous president and turning convention completely on its head.
Prior to the curtain’s rise, audience members are thrust into the wacky, weird and wonderful world of Escola and their Civil War-era fever dream that isResting on an easel in the lobby of the Lucille Lortel Theater in Manhattan’s West Village sits a painting of Escola dressed in a vivid blue gown. The hallway leading to the house is lined with a fake retrospective of Escola’s career in the arts.
In this version of American history, Mary Todd Lincoln is brazen and crass, a diva whose hopes and dreams have been squandered by her husband’s political life. There’s no way to predict what she’ll do next: she’s quick to lift her black hoop skirt, revealing her heart-covered pantaloons, or drink the paint thinner used in her painting lesson, as a substitute for a cocktail.
