Mary Lincoln

Review: MRS PRESIDENT, Charing Cross Theatre
by Louise Penn - Jan 28, 2026

In Mrs President, an overuse of technical gimmicks reveals the lack of a cohesive, structured script. Mrs President is ultimately a frustrating and disjointed experience, with little insight into the woman it wishes to rehabilitate. In creating the famous photographs of Mary Lincoln, almost exactly in costume and pose, there is no scope for dramatic licence or invention.

Review: MRS PRESIDENT, Charing Cross Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Feb 7, 2025

by Guest Author - Jan 28, 2025

When I ventured into the world of playwriting, I found myself in completely new territory. Unlike painting, the written word invites evolution. A play is never truly “done.” It transforms, grows, and contracts.

EDINBURGH 2023: Review: MRS PRESIDENT, C Arts
by Cindy Marcolina - Aug 11, 2023

Lily Wolff directs with gorgeous brushstrokes. Smooth, creative changes of pace come with gradual shifts in the lighting and sound designs, revealing Mary’s interiority and explaining her history. Leeanne Hutchinson’s First Lady is a complex, hurt mother who can’t seem to overcome the pain in her life. She’s matched in performance by Christopher Kelly, who plays Brady as well as a collection of his peculiar subjects. There’s a tense chemistry between them. The minimalism of the visuals engages the imagination of the audience, putting the actors on a blank canvas.
