Molly has happily experienced the world differently since she was ten months old. When Frank, her restless, unemployed and enthusiastic husband, makes her blindness his latest cause, he recruits Dr. Rice, a once-famous surgeon who, despite his struggles, agrees to attempt to restore Molly’s sight. When the bandages come off, Molly, Frank and Dr. Rice discover the differences between seeing and understanding as they face the consequences of a medical miracle. Irish Repertory Theatre presents Molly Sweeney as part of their 35th season celebration The Friel Project.
