Faith Healer by Brian Friel

Starring Seamus O’Rourke, Orla Fitzgerald & Michael Patric
Directed by Geoff Gould


Faith Healer is one of Brian Friel’s (Philadelphia, Here I Come!, Translations, Dancing at Lughnasa) most iconic plays.

Frank Hardy (Seamus O'Rourke) has a gift. He can heal people. In one extraordinary night Hardy “cured ten local people of a variety of complaints ranging from blindness to polio”.

No one is sure whether these are just astonishing cures or whether Mr. Harding is indeed the possessor of some extra-terrestrial power. Will he be able to save McGarvey from his wheelchair existence? If he can’t Frank will surely die.
