A Rare Revival

Brian Friel's astonishing play, Molly Sweeney, returns to the stage as part of the Goodman Theatre's 2019/2020 season! Visually impaired since she was born Molly Sweeney prepares to undergo a life-changing operation. But whose life does it really change? Molly's? Her zealous husband's? Or her ambitious doctor's?

Directed by Robert Falls, Molly Sweeney is an explosive exploration of triumph and loss. Written by one of the 20th centuries most celebrated playwrights, be reacquainted with this rarely revived masterpiece of hope and despair.
