With honesty, humor, and flights of historical fancy, GHOSTS OF ST. VINCENT’S tells the story of Greenwich Villages historic hospital through the eyes of a man who spent a winter on its 7th floor AIDS ward and survived just in time for the drug “cocktail” that saved so many lives. Featuring appearances by indomitable historical figures (from Edna St. Vincent Millay to Robert Mapplethorpe), GHOSTS OF ST. VINCENT’S explores coming out and coming back from the dead, gender fluidity and gentrification, the price of forgiveness, the cost of survival, and the ephemeral nature of New York City.
