Molly Sweeney

Molly Sweeney
by Brian Friel

Molly Sweeney is a humorous, compelling and moving drama, which tells the story of a woman, blind since infancy, who has the chance to regain her sight.

Molly Sweeney’s journey is one of the most remarkable a Brian Friel character has ever made.

Tony Award nominee Dawn Bradfield will play Molly Sweeney (The Clinic, RTE). Peter Hanly (Braveheart) returns to the Gate as Frank Sweeney, her husband and Michael Byrne (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) will play the ophthalmologist.
