Coming Up Next
This powerful Rashomon-like meditation on truth and belief focuses on itinerant faith healer Frank Hardy, his wife and his manager as they travel to remote towns throughout the British Isles where Frank attempts to cure the sick and suffering. All three characters tell about significant events in their 20 years together, but the perspective—and even the facts—change in each version, leaving the audience to determine the truth.
Critics have hailed Faith Healer as one of Friel’s most masterful works:
“…exciting, provocative, highly inventive…”
“…the narrative has the addictive pull of a detective yarn…”
“…funny, profound, spiritual and deeply moving, it is above all a triumph of the sheer power of story-telling.”
Featuring Mark Honan, Susan Reilly and Tony Reilly
