Mrs President
Rec Room Arts and Art Pond Foundation (New York, USA)
Mary Lincoln is grieving. She needs a new image to win the hearts of the
American people and silence the envious elite accusing her of treason.
Who better for the job than the celebrity photographer who helped her
husband win the presidency? But all is not as it appears for the First
Lady… Subject and artist battle for creative control over their own
narratives as they attempt to capture an iconic image of America’s First
Widow. A new play about the power of representation by acclaimed artist,
playwright, and historian John Ransom Phillips.
