Mary Todd Lincoln comes to life in one woman show

[RJNorton]

Three years ago, Candace O’Donnell put on a one-woman show about Mary Todd Lincoln at the Ware Center.

Hoping for an audience of 50 or 60 people, she ended up selling out its 350-seat Steinman Hall.

On Saturday, O’Donnell will reprise “Mary Todd Lincoln: Much Madness Is Divinest Sense” for one performance only, again at the Ware Center.

“She’s a wild woman,” O’Donnell says of Mrs. Lincoln. “You could spend a lifetime researching and never get to the end of it.”
