Meet Frank Hardy, Faith Healer.

This is one story with three storytellers, each with their own perspective on their shared history.

Each tale brings new revelations through a spellbinding narrative that enters the realm of a deep, shamanic ritual, guiding the listener through the hearts and minds of faith healer Frank, his wife Grace and his manager Teddy.

Faith Healer is recognised as a masterpiece of modern theatre. Written by Brian Friel, one of Ireland’s most celebrated playwrights, Faith Healer is a dramatic enactment about the fictions of memory, a meditation on the role and responsibility of the artist in society and an exploration of the meanings of healing and salvation.

This all-star production is created especially for Audible by internationally acclaimed theatre director Ian Rickson, former artistic director of the Royal Court, starring a cast of theatrical titans: Ciaran Hinds (The Terror, The Crucible), Michelle Fairley (Game of Thrones, Julius Caesar) and Toby Jones (Detectorists, Uncle Vanya). Sound design by Ian Dickinson for Autograph Sound.

A very well interwoven piece of writing.
Excellent performance by all three. Literally seeing each character in the writing and performance.

Great performances by Ciaran Hinds, Toby Jones and Michelle Fairley. It's a rivoting story, each character revealing the half-truths and misrememberings of the last. I found Michelle Fairley's accent to be inconsistent, meandering from south Dublin to north of Ireland and that put me off a little. But her overall performance was excellent like the other two's. A great production of a great play by a great author.

A fascinating story told in monologues

Not for you if you are wanting something light hearted. I did enjoy it though. and very well acted. a great short freebie to fill a gap until your new credit arrives.

Fairly intense!
