Molly Sweeney

11/14/08 - 12/7/08

Molly Sweeney was written by Brian Friel in 1994 and first premiered at the Gate Theatre in Dublin in the same year.  It follows the journey of Molly Sweeney from the blind world she lives and is happy in, through to a partially sighted world which is new, fresh and exciting, yet ultimately overwhelming.  Told through alternating monologues from the points of view of three different characters - Molly, her husband Frank and her surgeon Mr. Rice, Molly Sweeney is based on Oliver Sack’s case study, To See and Not See from An Anthropologist on Mars.

Dear Patron,

Years ago I worked with a choreographer who always wore a T-shirt that said on the front “This is a Change”, and on the back, “Change is Good”.  I use that phrase a lot in rehearsal, and now I am using it again as I write to you:
This is a Change - Change is Good.
