THE TERRIBLE LEGEND OF VICTORIA WOODHULL HAS NEW YORK PREMIERE AT WORLD’S LARGEST SOLO THEATRE FESTIVAL
-- The First Woman to Run for President of the United States… 146 Years Ago… Returns! --
New York City, Sept 6th, 2018. The Terrible Legend of Victoria Woodhull, a new solo show on the first woman to run for President of the United States in 1872, will receive it’s New York Premiere at the 9th Annual United Solo Theatre Festival. The one woman show will perform on Theatre Row, 410 W 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036, Thursday, October 4th at 9:00pm.
Many terrible tales have been told about Victoria C. Woodhull, the first woman to run for President of the United States in 1872. A well-meaning Los Angeles actress (Ashley Ford) will summon the spirit of Victoria in a seance to tell her tale from beyond the grave, in the light of today’s #metoo movement and set the record straight.
The play follows her rise from poverty to riches, as a traveling Clairvoyant who became the first female stockbroker on Wall Street, the first woman to formally address Congress, running her own progressive NY newspaper, her ultimate betrayal and demise. The Terrible Legend of Victoria Woodhull received it’s West Coast premiere at the 2018 Hollywood Fringe Festival presented by The Owl & the Pussycat Theatre Co, directed by Karen Louisa Linton.
