REVIEW: Our American Queen

Reading Time: 3 minutesAmerica at war. Cracks showing within the Presidential cabinet. Families divided. A familiar scene is set before us, as we enter the world of 1864 Civil War America. Lincoln is at the helm and his Secretary of the Treasury, Salmon P. Chase is gunning for his seat with his daughter Kate acting the driving force behind the scenes. The ‘most celebrated yet overlooked women of 19th-century America,’ as Our American Queen champions her.

Peter Briffa explores this incredible story in his first play at the Old Red Lion Theatre in 14 years, It Happened to Me.
