About the Performance
Arguably Brian Friel's greatest play, Faith Healer influenced a generation of Irish writing for the theatre. Frank Hardy is a faith healer who has spent a lifetime touring the decayed villages of Scotland and Wales with his manager Teddy and his wife/mistress Grace.
The story of their touring and of their fateful return is told in separate, often contradictory accounts by Grace, Teddy and Frank himself. Taken together these narratives create a mosaic that is both seductive and terrifying.
