Wed 8 Jul @ 1.30pm – Something In The Water

Composer: Marc Folan 
Bookwriter: Paul Mari 

In 1854, John Snow, a blunt Yorkshire doctor, defied Victorian society in his battle against the most feared disease of the age: cholera. As cholera ravaged the streets of London, Snow traced death itself to a single water pump in Soho. Dismissed by his peers and fighting a thousand years of deep-rooted medical prejudice, he pushed relentlessly toward a radical new understanding of disease.

Snow anaesthetised Queen Victoria, yet history has for so long barely remembered him. Why? Because he didn’t just question medicine – he threatened power itself. This is more than history – it’s a detective story, a battle between evidence and authority, and a revolutionary who refused to be silenced.
