Luke Yankee shares the story of Dr. Max Gerson with us. Max Gerson believed his protocol held the key to reversing cancer and most chronic, degenerative diseases. “THE MAN WHO KILLED THE CURE” is inspired by the life and death of Dr. Max Gerson, one of the pioneers in the world of natural healing. When Max Gerson and his business partner, Rudolph Heller, escaped Nazi Germany, they had no idea what awaited them in New York. Rudy wanted the good life, treating his patients the traditional way. When Max created an all natural cure for cancer, the medical world felt threatened, not to mention his friend and colleague. The AMA and the big pharmaceutical companies would stop at nothing to keep this natural cure off the market, but Max was equally determined that the world should know about it. Inspired by true events, this gripping and controversial story delves into a world of medicine where the end goal is not healing but profit. This play recently received its first workshop production at the University of California – Irvine in February 2017. It was nominated for the Otis Guernsey New Voices in the American Theatre Award and was a semifinalist for the Eugene O’Neill National Playwrights Conference. It will receive a production at The Dayton Theatre Guild in November of 2018.
