Blind since infancy, Molly becomes the center of hope for two men, a
failed ophthalmologist and her do-gooder husband. They prevail on her
to submit to surgery, even though she is happy living in the world
she's fashioned. Molly is plunged into a world of shapes and colors,
but loses the world she once knew. "Molly Sweeney" is a philosophical
study posing as a medical case.
Related in Friel's extraordinary style of overlapping monologues,
Molly's story is told as each of the three characters sees it. A 1996
Lucille Lortel Award winner MOLLY SWEENEY is story-telling on a grand
scale.
(MOLLY SWEENEY was presented by Theater Voices in June 1997 and is
repeated as part of our 20th Anniversary celebration of noteworthy
productions.)
