FAITH HEALER Comes to The Everyman in October
Performances run Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th October 2025.
By: Stephi Wild Sep. 12, 2025
Blood in the Alley will present Faith Healer by Brian Friel, directed by Geoff Gould, coming to The Everyman Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th October 2025.
There are many who believe Faith Healer is Brian Friel’s greatest play. Frank Hardy, played by Seamus O’Rourke, is a healer, travelling to remote corners in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, hoping to heal those who wish to be healed. Orla Fitzgerald plays his wife Grace, and his Cockney manager Teddy, is played by Michael Patric. They weave their versions of their life with Frank and a terrible event into a haunting performance. Truths, lies, deception, and murder, all collide to provide a dark journey into a psychic landscape that compels and enthrals.
On the tenth anniversary of his passing, Faith Healer reminds us of the majesty of Brian Friel’s work.
Blood in the Alley is a Cork based theatre company started by Geoff Gould in 2003. Geoff is the former Artistic Director of The Everyman and his previous Friel work includes a national tour of Making History and his critically acclaimed Philadelphia, Here I Come in 2022. Seamus O’Rourke, Orla Fitzgerald and Michael Patric are ideally cast in their respective roles.
