Synopsis
Frank Hardy, a charismatic yet troubled faith healer, is at the centre of Brian Friel’s profound play “Faith Healer.” Through a series of monologues, Frank, along with his wife Grace and manager Teddy, unravels their shared journey through the remote villages of Scotland and Wales, performing healing miracles.
Each narrative reveals contrasting truths and memories, painting a complex picture of their lives entangled in Frank’s mysterious gift. Frank’s internal struggle with the authenticity of his healing powers and the impact of his craft on those he loves forms the heart of this haunting exploration of truth, belief, and the human psyche.
