Oh Mary! and Hotel packages by Theatre Breaks
Oh, Mary! This uproariously dark comedy is about a miserable, suffocated Mary Todd Lincoln in the weeks leading up to her husband’s theatre based assassination. Theatre and hotel packages are available to book Now.
Written by award winning Cole Escola, this tale of unrequited yearning, alcoholism, and suppressed desires is a 80-minute one-act play that finally examines the forgotten life and dreams of Mrs Lincoln, through the lens of an idiot (OK, that’s playwright Cole Escola too).
The New York Times, said that Oh Mary! is “one of the best comedies in years”. Cole, who played Mrs L on Broadway, got a Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Play. The plaudits didn’t stop there and Best Direction of a Play went to Sam Pinkleton.
From 26 September the role of Mary will be taken over by Lolly Adefope. You will probably have seen Lolly in Ghosts – She played Kitty, the ghost of a Georgian noblewoman. But her credits include stand-up comedy, Shrill, The Franchise, This Time with Alan Partridge, Saltburn, and Wicked Little Letters
What Theatre is Oh Mary! on at and where is it?
The Trafalgar Theatre in at 14 Whitehall, just south of Trafalgar Square, in London.
You can get there from Charing Cross Tube station or Leicester Square. What a super winter’s evening walk that will be: across the square, past the lions and Nelson. Gosh I love London!
When can I book a Oh Mary! and hotel package for?
We have theatre and hotel packages available to book right through to 02 January 2027
The show, just has one act which is 80 minutes long.
What hotels are close to the Trafalgar Theatre?
There aren’t many cheap hotels close to the theatre as they are mostly 4 and 5 star hotels in the area. The Clermont Charing Cross, the Royal Horseguards, the Thistle Trafalgar Square and the Radisson Blu Leicester Square are ones within a 10 minute walk.
So if you are looking to save some pennies, make that walk across the square back to the tube station and head out to Bloomsbury, Kensington or south of the river: The Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, although it is a four star hotel has some good deals!
