Molly Sweeney

‘Learning to seeisnot like learning a new language, It’s like learning a language for the first time.’ Molly Sweeney, blind since birth, gains perfect vision after an operation. But is this new world of light a good enough substitute for Molly’s richly satisfying world of darkness? Brian Friel’s brilliant and poetic play combines moments of intense joy with a powerful undertow of sadness.
