Award-winning actress and writer Catherine Tate will play Mary Todd Lincoln in the Tony® Award-winning smash hit comedy OH, MARY! at London’s Trafalgar Theatre from 27 April until 18 July 2026 with booking also extended until 18 July 2026. Also joining the cast is Scott Karim, who will play Mary’s Husband from Monday 16 March.

OH, MARY! is a dark comedy about a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. Unrequited yearning, alcoholism, and suppressed desires abound in this 80-minute one-act play that finally examines the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs. Lincoln, through the lens of an idiot (playwright Cole Escola).

Mason Alexander Park’s final performance as Mary Todd Lincoln will be Saturday 25 April.
