Mrs President London tickets

About Mrs President

Mary Lincoln is a woman at war - with her grief, her detractors, and herself. Vilified by an envious elite and accused of treason, she strives to rebuild her public image to win the hearts of the American people. She turns to the world’s first celebrity photographer, Matthew Brady (Hal Fowler), who helped her husband, Abraham Lincoln, win the presidency. But their partnership unravels into a tense battle for creative control.

Mrs. President is a daring, intimate portrait of grief, legacy, and the price of being a woman history tried to erase.
