The Widow Lincoln

The Widow Lincoln

Ford's Theatre
511 Tenth Street, N.W. Washington

Ford's Theatre presents the world premiere of The Widow Lincoln, a drama that portrays Mary Todd Lincoln during the weeks following the assassination of her husband -- 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln -- at Ford's Theatre. A woman who was often an object of ridicule due to her perceived sense of entitlement, Mary was perhaps the most controversial First Lady our nation has ever known. But this emotionally wrought portrait portrays a woman mourning the post-war life she and her heroic husband will never be able to share.
