Molly Sweeney by Brian Friel
24 to 26 February 2022
Brian Friel is one of Ireland’s foremost playwrights.
Inspired in part by Oliver Sacks’ case history “To see and not see”, this is a beautifully written play about seeing and understanding. Molly Sweeney has been unable to see since she was a very young child but her lack of sight has never dimmed her sheer joy in everyday life. When Molly marries the unemployed Frank, they embark on a relentless campaign to restore her sight. Eye surgeon, Mr Rice, has his own reasons for operating on her, but once the bandages come off, Molly and those around her finally begin to understand that everything is not as it appears.
All performances start at 7:45pm.
Saturday box office: 5, 12 and 19 February. 11am to 12 noon at The Green Room.
Molly Sweeney is a Stockport Garrick production.
