A Festival of Friel: Molly Sweeny / Translations at CURVE


Two stunning Curve Productions Brian Friel's eloquent masterpiece, TRANSLATIONS and the deeply moving and beautiful story of MOLLY SWEENEY will run in repertoire in the Studio at Curve this autumn. One of the world's greatest contemporary playwrights, Brian Friel has enjoyed award-winning success in London and New York, with worldwide hit productions of many of his plays including DANCING AT LUGHNASA.

TRANSLATIONS takes place in beautiful, rural Donegal, Ireland in 1830. The English rulers are set on changing the language and place names of a long Gaelic tradition. Will mutual understanding eventually transcend language in this dangerous clash of cultures and tangled affair of passion and love?

MOLLY SWEENEY is the multi award-winning story of Molly. Blind for many years, Molly is relishing her independence until the arrival of a 'miracle' doctor and a misguided new husband whose enthusiasm threatens her very survival. This beautifully intense piece, based on Oliver Sack's, TO SEE OR NOT TO SEE, takes us with Molly on her dramatic and emotional journey from darkness to light.
