Molly Sweeney

Molly Sweeney

By Brian Friel, Directed by Robert Falls

April 10 – May 10, 2020 in the Owen Theatre

“And what sort of world did you expect, Mrs. Sweeney?”

—Mr. Rice, Act II

In this riveting exploration of triumph and loss, master storyteller Brian Friel—“a towering figure of the stage, from Dublin to Broadway” (The Guardian)—reveals the unexpected consequences of a modern medical miracle. Having lost her sight at infancy, Molly agrees to an operation that could restore her fifth sense. But is it she who benefits most—or her hopeful husband, or her ambitious doctor? Robert Falls directs a major revival of this “astonishing, highly entertaining, deeply moving meditation on hope, change and despair” (The New York Times).
