Faith Healer

The play by the Irish contemporary literary classic consists of four monologues: faith healer travelling through villages, his wife and his manager tell us about the events with pivotal significance. The events are often recurrent, the manner the storytellers remember and narrate them is different.

Faith healer Frank has been given the power to cure people, give them faith, hope and love. Unfortunately this power doesn’t exhibit itself every day. The disappointment of bad days and broken hopes of miraculous healing touch the sickly as well as the healer and his close-ones. How to cure the healer himself? This is a play about memories, fulfilled and unfulfilled dreams, optimism against all frustration.
