The REAL First Ladies of Washington City give the dish on the 1801 Election."

Presented as part of the Metropolitan Playhouse Founders Festival, My First Lady takes a funny and unexpected turn towards a battle of race, class, and gender in the new American republic when First Ladies Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, Dolley Madison, and Thomas Jefferson’s daughters gather for a "friendly" tea. The gloves come off when Jefferson's enslaved mistress Sally Hemmings claims her rightful place at the table.

An afternoon of pleasantries quickly turns into a boiling teakettle of tension...the ending of the play is subtle and numbingly powerful."
