Cole Escola's 'Oh, Mary!' Filmed for Release

Cole Escola’s comedy "Oh, Mary!" is set to be filmed at the West End’s Trafalgar Theatre on July 28, with a future release date yet to be announced. The production revisits the character of Mary Todd Lincoln and her husband, Abraham Lincoln, in a humorous and revisionist manner.

This initiative allows for the preservation and broader accessibility of the acclaimed stage production.
