The Turbulent Tale of Typhoid Mary by Brenda Winter Palmer.
This performed reading takes place in the magnificently transformed ‘A-Wing’ at the former Crumlin Road Gaol, now the home of the Belfast-born whisky.
In this historic site of incarceration, we tell 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.
To fortify you before the performances McConnell’s offers you a ‘wee drap’ of their award-winning Irish Whisky!
