Insanity. Execution. Murder. Three ill-fated stories are woven together in this exciting world premiere by Garrett Heater.

Following Lincoln's assassination his wife Mary Todd suffered from bouts of hysteria and financial distress. Major Rathbone and his wife Clara, who were in the presidential box when Lincoln was shot, found themselves unable to escape multiple tragedies, blamed on the blood-spattered dress she kept from that evening. Mary Surratt, whose boarding house served as the meeting place of the conspirators, faced the scaffold for aiding and abetting the crime. Lincoln enthusiasts as well as patrons who have previously enjoyed Covey's Lizzie Borden Took an Axe and The Romanovs will certainly find interest in this play: the tragic results of spilling Lincoln's blood. Starring SALT award winner Jodie Baum as Mary Todd Lincoln.
