Faith Healer

The 40th Hong Kong Arts Festival

Description

Description

Faith Healer consists of four monologues. The first and last are spoken by Frank Hardy, a faith healer; the second by his wife, Grace; and the third by his cockney manager, Teddy. Together they tell the story of Frank’s visits to remote villages around the British Isles to heal the sick. Three central events dominate the story: an incident in the Welsh village of Llanblethian where Frank cures ten people; Grace having a baby in Kinlochbervie, Scotland; and Frank’s mysterious end in Ballybeg, Ireland. Obsession, miracles and love dominate the imagination of all the characters. Frequently they contradict each other, as the mystery deepens and we ask ourselves, where does the real truth lie?
