The Turbulent Tale of Typhoid Mary

May 5, 2026 | 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

By Brenda Winter Palmer
Part of Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival

A performed reading in the magnificently transformed ‘A-Wing’.

Hear the story of Mary Mallon, allegedly from Cookstown. In 1905 Mary was working as a high society cook in New York. What her employers did not know was that Cookie Mary was an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid who had infected 57 people in high class kitchens from Oyster Bay to Fifth Avenue.  She was ordered to stop cooking. But this unruly, uncontrollable ‘microbe denier’ was not going down easy.

Doors open 6.00pm | Bar open after show | Tickets £15.00, includes a welcome McConnell’s drink.
