About the play

 

A group of storytellers gathers to chronicle a curious tale.

​

It's 1822. A fur trader named Alexis St. Martin gets shot (by accident) and is left with a gaping wound in his chest, leading directly to his stomach. His doctor, William Beaumont, uses him and his wound to conduct studies on digestion for the next 11 years.

​

And yes, this really happened.
