Faith Healer

14 January 2015 to 7 February 2015

By Brian Friel
Directed by John Dove

“Teddy’s driving as usual, and I’m in the passenger seat, and he’s immediately behind us, the Fantastic Francis Hardy, Faith Healer, with his back to us and the whiskey bottle between his legs.”

The lame, the ill and the broken-hearted all gather for the Fantastic Francis Hardy: Faith Healer. Travelling with his two companions, Grace and Teddy, Frank roams the small towns of Scotland and Wales healing the sick, trying to find a way home.

These are their stories - haunting, tender, funny and passionate, taking us to the heart of what it means to love and to believe.

One of Ireland's greatest playwrights, Brian Friel is best known for his works Philadelphia Here I Come!, Translations and Dancing at Lughnasa. Faith Healer is Friel’s masterpiece, defining his uniquely poetic and intensely human voice it is a landmark play in the rich landscape of Irish theatre.

John Dove is Associate Artist at The Lyceum, most recently directing the widely acclaimed Pressure by David Haig.

"One of those rare works of art audiences are destined to recall as a deeply personal experience. A powerful piece of writing.” The New York Times on Faith Healer
