The Hero of the Slocum

June 15, 1904 ? A paddlesteamer catches fire on the East River. Over 1100 women and children die in minutes. It was the worst US maritime disaster of the Twentieth Century. And it was completely preventable.

June 15, 1984 ? Nobody remembers. Except the oldest living survivor, Edward Knittel, “hero” of the Slocum disaster.

KingTull Theatrics presents Patrick Tull as The Hero of the Slocum, from the novel by Eric Blau. Emily King directs.
