Join us on the Bicentennial for the final event in our series. President and Mrs. Lincoln reflect on their lives together in Illinois and Washington as they prepare to leave for Ford's Theater.
"An Evening With Mr. & Mrs. Lincoln" takes place in the White House at the end of the Civil War (April 1865).
As the President and Mrs. Lincoln reflect on the events of the past four years and their plans for the future, the play flashes back to the beginning of their lives together - their courtship and early marriage, the births of their children, Mr. Lincoln's legal career and the development of his political career - and brings the audience all the way forward through the tumultuous years of the Civil War - the responsibilities of the Presidency and the personal traumas suffered by the family - ending as the President realizes that it is time for him to leave for Ford's Theatre.
A short epilogue addresses the events of April 14, 1865 and the last years of Mary Lincoln's life.
