Forgiving Typhoid Mary
by Mark St. Germain
New york premiere

One of the year's ten best.
............Time Magazine

Mesmerizing. Her story denounces hypocrisy (and) raises disturbing questions.
............KPS

Marvelous and unnerving, funny and hair raising.
............The New Tribune

Part fevered memory, part aborted repentance, Mark St. Germain has taken a documentary and lifted it into poetry.
............Time Magazine

The true story of the woman who began a lethal epidemic. Never contracting the disease herself, She transmitted it to more than 50 people between 1900 and 1915. The number of victims is said to be countless. To curb the threat, Mary simply had to wash her hands. Produced everywhere but the city in which she lived, it is time to bring Mary Malon back to New York.
