The Man Who Killed the Cure at International City Theatre

Dates: 4/28/2027 - 5/16/2027


Share
A gripping, fact-based drama that delves into a world of medicine where the end goal is not healing, but profit. Inspired by the life and death of natural healing pioneer Dr. Max Gerson, the play weaves together the story of Gerson and his business partner Rudolph Heller, refugees from Nazi Germany. While Rudy partners with large pharmaceutical companies, Max is determined to show the world a more natural and less expensive route to a cure. Written and directed by Luke Yankee.
