The Medicine Showdown - Flying Carpet Theatre
Monday, Aug 31, 2009 8:00p
Woodruff Arts Center: 14th Street Playhouse
Atlanta,
GA
Set in small-town Georgia during the 1918 global influenza pandemic, this original work pits a crusading doctor against an entourage of snake oil salesmen. Public health seems at odds with the town's economic interests as civic leaders debate shutting down all public gatherings—including the popular and lucrative local medicine show. Interwoven with the realistic play are scenes from a period medicine show, complete with tap dance, old time melodrama, country music, and vaudevillian comedy.
