(A 10 minute monologue) Mary Mallon, aka Typhoid Mary, tells her story to the new doctor she works with in the laboratory on North Brother Island where she has been held in isolation for 18 years --and where she'll live a total of 26 years, until the end of her life. She escaped once and continued to cook even though under strict orders not to. She's believed to have infected hundreds with typhoid fever and it has been confirmed she killed three people. But while other asymptomatic typhoid carriers carried on with their lives in New York City, which she could see from her prison on North Brother Island, she was never released. Was it because she was a single, Irish female? Or just another poor soul lost in the shuffle... (Words in italics are hers.)
