Molly Sweeney
A play by Brian Friel.
Molly Sweeney has been blind since infancy, but her husband Frank is devoted to trying to find a cure to help her see again. When they meet Dr Rice, a pioneering ophthalmologist who offers to perform an experimental operation to restore her sight, Frank persuades Molly that she has nothing to lose.
However, when the bandages have been taken off, Molly finds it difficult to adjust to the strange new world of perception that she encounters. After 40 years of sightlessness, she starts to realise that the gift of vision has some terrifying consequences…
Told from the three different perspectives of Molly, Frank and Dr Rice, the story of Molly Sweeney is woven together into a tragic tale of discovery, loss, hope and despair.
