We are about to wrap up our first weekend of Faith Healer! And I wanted to post New York Times Critic Ben Brantleys words about the play in his review of its last Broadway run. The tragedy for the characters in Faith Healer is that while connection among them is elusive, the memory of fleeting contact remains and scalds. That the same might be said of the plays effect upon us is, more than anything, what makes Faith Healer a major work of art. If anything you should come hear this major work of art be spoken. This play is considered one of the most important plays written and you can quibble with choices of parts of the performances, but the work of Brian Friel is special should be heard!
