Keen Company revives of Brial Friel's acclaimed play, MOLLY SWEENEY directed by Jonathan Silverstein, the company's Artistic Director.
Having lost her sight at infancy, Molly Sweeney knows the world through touch, sound, taste, and smell. When her hopeful husband and ambitious doctor propose an operation to restore her sight, Molly and those around her begin to understand that things may not all be as they appear. Brian Friel, Ireland’s master storyteller (Dancing at Lughnasa, Faith Healer, Translations) creates a riveting contemporary drama about the unexpected consequences of a medical miracle.
“Molly Sweeney is an astonishing work...A deeply moving meditation on hope, change and despair.” — The New York Times
