The production recently extended its West End run and is now booking through to 2 January 2027.

Written by Cole Escola and directed by Sam Pinkleton, Oh, Mary! is a dark comedy that reimagines the final weeks of Mary Todd Lincoln’s life before Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. The 80-minute one-act play explores unfulfilled ambitions, alcoholism and desire through Escola’s distinctive comic lens.
Since premiering off-Broadway in January 2024, the production has become an international hit. Following a record-breaking Broadway transfer in July 2024, Oh, Mary! arrived in the West End in December 2025 and went on to win Best Entertainment or Comedy Play at the Olivier Awards.
The comedy has also earned major accolades in the United States, including Tony Awards for Best Leading Actor in a Play for Cole Escola and Best Direction of a Play for Sam Pinkleton, alongside Drama League Awards for Outstanding Play and Outstanding Direction of a Play. The production was also recognised as a Pulitzer Prize finalist for Drama.
