The brand new play MRS. PRESIDENT comes to London’s Charing Cross Theatre for a limited time in 2025!
Bronagh Lagan (Cruise, Flowers for Mrs. Harris), directs Miriam Grace Edwards (One of the Boys, Romeo & Juliet), and Sam Jenkins-Shaw (The King and I, Twelfth Night) in this gripping one-act play that takes you behind the curtain of history, revealing the triumphs and tragedies of a woman ahead of her time.
With a richly textured script by acclaimed artist, playwright, and historian John Ransom Phillips, MRS. PRESIDENT has been described as “evocative” and “unmissable”. This brand new London production brings to life an intimate and politically charged portrait of America’s most misunderstood First Lady.
