FAITH HEALER
A modern masterpiece by the acclaimed Irish author of Translations and Dancing at Lughnasa. Friel’s play weaves together the stories of an erratic, itinerant faith healer with those of his embittered but loving wife and his weary stage manager. In lyrical monologues, the characters deliver conflicting versions of “the fantastic Francis Hardy’s” performances, while slowly revealing a terrible event at the story’s center. A fascinating exploration of truth and superstition, and unconditional love that is not to be missed.
“A major work of art.”
New York Times
“A dismantling of a traditional play, a juggling with ideas of truth and lies, a swimming between realism and dream.”

Directed by DONNLA HUGHES

REVIEWS
"This is a must-see production with a superb cast performing at the height of their craft. ...This is a brilliantly acted, thoughtfully directed, and impeccably staged production of one of Brian Friel's masterworks. It is a gripping evening of theatre at its most visceral and human. Highly recommended."
"Each speaks directly to us, the audience, in the playwright’s melodic language, and we are captivated....At the Gamm, “Faith Healer” is an unforgettable mix of rich material, expertly presented, powerful and moving. In conclusion: Great theater."
"There is power in each word of “Faith Healer,” brilliance in each actor’s delivery, and a lingering sense of sadness long after the curtain falls. The experience is an absolute gift."
"Three unforgettably astounding performances. ...Donnla Hughes, who was born and raised in Ireland — and who directs "Faith Healer," with precision, knowledge and sensitivity — was clearly the perfect choice."
