Molly Sweeney at Long Wharf Theatre

Authors

• Brian Friel

In MOLLY SWEENEY, Ireland's master storyteller Brian Friel (DANCING AT LUGHNASA, TRANSLATIONS, PHILADELPHIA, HERE I COME!) has devised a riveting contemporary drama about the terrible consequences of a medical miracle. Molly has sat in happy, capable, independent darkness since she was ten months old. When her husband, a restless, unemployed enthusiast makes her blindness his latest cause, he consults a once famous star surgeon who, despite being half drowned in Irish whiskey agrees to attempt to restore Molly's sight.
