Essentially, the premise of the play is, βWhat if Mary Todd Lincoln was an absolute c***?Β Β Thatβs the premise and the tone of the play.Β Β It puts Mary as a Real Housewife, repressed cabaret singer trying to get validation and support from her presidential husband β and although her machinations lead to him being shot in that infamous theatre box seat scene β it does return her to the god-awful cabaret world she longs for . .
