MOLLY SWEENEY

by BRIAN FRIEL
directed by JONATHAN SILVERSTEIN

OCTOBER 8TH - NOVEMBER 16TH, 2019

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. 

STARRING:
Paul O’Brien, Pamela Sabaugh, Tommy Schrider
