Summer of Saints


Overview

Donna Langevin's Summer of Saints unflinchingly explores the 1847 typhus epidemic in Montreal where the Grey Nuns attended to the afflicted. This play combines deeply moving poetry, powerful drama, and haunting music. Will Mother Fitzpatrick send her beloved postulants to the deadly fever sheds? She wrestles with obedience versus conscience, certainty versus doubt, as she moves towards a wider, deeper spirituality of compassion and humanity. An angry chorus of Montrealers, wanting the fever sheds destroyed, helps to heighten the drama. Langevin's 2019 tour de force with the themes of public safety, social conscience and self-sacrifice, chillingly augers the Covid 19 pandemic of our time. Kate Marshall Flaherty, author of seven poetry collections.
