Alsager Community Theatre presents “Molly Sweeney”

What happens when sight is restored to a woman who has been blind since infancy? Can she make sense of the world? Can she learn how to see?

This is Molly Sweeney, living contentedly in her blind world, now urged to grasp an opportunity to gain ‘the gift of sight’. Her husband thinks she should; her ophthalmologist is longing for the chance to demonstrate his skills; but she wonders what she has to gain, while they tell her she has nothing to lose.

Alsager Community Theatre’s next production is “Molly Sweeney” by acclaimed Irish playwright Brian Friel (probably best known for his Dancing at Lughnasa). The play is beautifully written, lyrical and honest, with moments of hilarity and moments of tragedy, and the audience will be captivated by the wonderful story of Frank, Molly and Mr Rice.

Tickets £8 (£7 for concessions)
