The production takes turns wrestling with the past, showing that memory can be as unreliable, and as contradictory, as faith.
Director Judy Davis said, “To quote Brian Friel himself, ‘Memory is about what has happened in the past. It’s also about what might have happened but never did.’ Faith Healer grapples with this notion of truth and falsity, and presents us with the gift of theatre in its essence – exceptional language that comes alive through carefully crafted characters.”
