DESCRIPTION

In the fall of 1918, a world ravaged by four years of war was suddenly hit by a mysterious and deadly plague—the "Spanish Flu." This phenomenon brought the terror, the panic, the horror and the sense of helplessness of the "Great War" home with the returning soldiers—more people died of this epidemic than had been killed in the war itself. This powerful and poetic play, filled with dark comedy and the desperate embrace of life at the edge of death, offers not only an epic chronicle of this chapter of history, but a timely metaphor for our new fears of global pandemic. By acclaimed Canadian playwright Kevin Kerr, directed by Marya Sea Kaminski. Presented by the Senior acting students of the Cornish College Theater Department.
