'The writing is beautiful, supple, rhythmical, charged with the
slow, sure throb of despair and enchantment... Brian Friel is the
most profound and poetic of contemporary Irish dramatists.'
Observer Throughout the remote and forgotten corners of the British
Isles, Frank Hardy offers the promise of redemption to the sick and
the suffering. But his is an unreliable gift, a dangerous calling
which brings him into conflict with his wife Grace and his manager
Teddy. Their competing accounts of past events reveal the fragility
of memory and the necessity of stories as a means of survival.
Brian Friel's Faith Healer was first produced at the Longacre
Theatre, New York, in April 1979 and was revived at the Donmar
Warehouse, London, in June 2016. 'The night of Faith Healer is one
that still blazes in recollection for me, as religious experiences
of art do. And it became a sort of touchstone for me in
understanding not only Mr. Friel's work with a depth I hadn't
appreciated before but also for defining the elusiveness of great
art and the pain of the artist who creates it.' Ben Brantley, New
York Times
