Synopsis

Geraldine Page and Maya Angelou took the leading roles on Broadway in Look Away , a compelling theatrical duet set in an insane asylum on Mrs. Lincoln's last night of residence, imagining she is once more at home in the White House and that her seamstress is with her.

Elizabeth Keckley, who wrote a book about her experiences, is the companion and a pillar of strength and wisdom to her irascible and often difficult friend who rants about the mistreatment accorded her by a penurious Senate and by her one surviving son who lobbied for her commitment.
