Discover A New Musical with Tom Swimm (The Hanging of Mary Surratt)

from Musical Theatre Radio presents "Be Our Guest" · host Jean Paul Yovanoff

In 1865, Mary Surratt became the first woman hanged by the United States government. Was she capable of aiding in the murder of a president? Was her conviction a rational legal process, or the result of deception brought on by a public hungry for revenge?The events of her life are dramatized in a surreal montage of sight and sound that questions her role in the Lincoln conspiracy and her relationship with John Wilkes Booth.Tom Swimm - Music, Lyrics & Book
