THE TERRIBLE LEGEND OF VICTORIA WOODHULL to Get New York Premiere at United Solo

THE TERRIBLE LEGEND OF VICTORIA WOODHULL to Get New York Premiere at United Solo

The Terrible Legend Of Victoria Woodhull, a new solo show on the first woman to run for President of the United States in 1872, will receive it's New York Premiere Off-Broadway at the 9th Annual United Solo Festival. The one woman show, written by Theo Salter and starring Ashley Ford, will perform one night only at Theatre Row - Studio Theatre, 410 W 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036, Thursday, October 4th at 9:00pm.

Many terrible tales have been told about Victoria C. Woodhull, the first woman to run for President of the United States in 1872. A well-meaning Los Angeles actress (Ashley Ford), in a misguided attempt at method acting, will lead the audience in a seance, in order to summon the spirit of Victoria, in the light of today's #metoo movement, to tell her tale from beyond the grave and set the record straight.

The play follows her rise from poverty to riches as a traveling Clairvoyant who became the first female stockbroker on Wall Street, the first woman to formally address Congress, running her own progressive NY newspaper, and her ultimate demise and fall from grace. The Terrible Legend of Victoria Woodhull premiered at the 2018 Hollywood Fringe Festival presented by The Owl & the Pussycat Theatre Co, directed by Karen Louisa Linton.

The 2018 United Solo Festival is the world's largest solo theatre festival staged at Theatre Row in the heart of the New York City theatre district on 42nd Street.
