Our American Queen is a new 5-character play by Thomas Klingenstein that delves into the real-life drama of the 1864 Presidential election, where Secretary of the Treasury Salmon Chase daringly challenges President Lincoln for the Republican nomination, while his daughter Kate deftly navigates her ambition and societal expectations. Despite the constraints placed upon her as a woman of her time, Kate's strategic prowess earns her the revered title in the press of “Our American Queen.” Yet, as she weighs marriage proposals from wealthy suitors and grapples with her affection for one of her father's political rivals, Kate must confront the true price of power. Will she sacrifice love for ambition, opting for a path that secures a political legacy in a nation on the brink, or will she listen to her heart's desires?
