Of truth and superstition

Posted

Faith Healer, a modern masterpiece by the acclaimed Irish author Brian Friel brings together the stories of an erratic, itinerant faith healer with those of his embittered but loving wife and his weary stage manager. In lyrical monologues, the characters deliver conflicting versions of “the fantastic Francis Hardy’s” performances, while slowly revealing a terrible event at the story’s center. The play, now running at The Gamm Theatre, 1245 Jefferson Blvd. through Jan. 29 explores truth and superstition, and the role of the artist in society. Tickets: 401-723-4266 or gammtheatre.org/faith . Regular $55-$65; Child/Student $20; Rush $30; Pay-What-You-Wish Fridays; Discounts for groups of 10 or more. Here Tony Estrella as cast in the role of Frank.
