| Breakdown
The true story of Helen Keller’s discovery of language. Helen, a young girl, is blind and deaf from infancy. The Kellers, a wealthy Southern family, desperately seek a cure for their daughter, reaching at their utmost desperation to a school in the North, where they find Annie Sullivan, a poor student, who travels to live with them to try to tame Helen’s wildness and educate her. The play centers around Annie’s determination to reach within Helen’s young mind by any means to unlock the key to language - and in reaching her, finds love in herself and touches our hearts.
