From the time of his maternal grandmother, Lucy Hanks, through his marriage to Mary Todd and life in the White House, we see how these women were influential in shaping the life and destiny of our sixteenth president, who-although he never appears in the play - is a constant presence. These women are vividly and lovingly portrayed in all their strengths.
