An Evening With Mary And Abraham Lincoln

Excerpts │ Audience/Client Comments ││Promo Flyer │ Video

A fascinating two-person play for your community theater, CVB, library, annual conference, or corporate program. Dressed authentically and using Mary Lincoln’s "own words," M. Kay duPont, author of the award-winning Loving Mr. Lincoln: The Personal Diaries of Mary Todd Lincoln, enthralls you with details and stories from the Lincoln family.

The audience is thrilled when Abraham appears behind a screen for his first conversation with Mary. For the next 90 minutes, they take you back to the 1800s, inside their life together, and all the way from Springfield, Illinois, to the White House. An Evening with Mary and Abraham Lincoln reveals one of the strongest, yet most tragic, relationships in history. You’ll learn firsthand about Mary Lincoln’s pain and frustration when Abraham left her at the altar, when her young sons died, and when Abraham’s political career seemed to be at an end. You’ll also hear Abraham's heartbreaking thoughts and struggles about slavery and the Civil War, get to enjoy his rendition of the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address, and hear their thoughts on whether he should run for the Presidency. You’ll discover how and why Mary pushed her quiet husband in that direction, and share her joy when she finally achieves her life-long ambition of reaching the White House.

When you leave this program, you’ll feel like you’ve been allowed inside the life of one of the world’s most famous couples to share their life and love. This is a program you'll never forget!
