Molly has sat in happy, capable,
independent darkness since she was ten months old. When her husband,
a restless, unemployed enthusiast makes her blindness his latest cause,
he consults a once famous star surgeon who, despite being half drowned
in Irish whiskey agrees to attempt to restore Molly’s sight.
When the bandages come off, remarkable revelations ensue. The privacy of blindness is assaulted. Can one “learn to see”? Or will the shock of realization overwhelm a beautiful woman who has never seen her face! Friel’s fascinating journey plunges deeply into the secrets and hearts of three extraordinary characters in this riveting drama about the terrible consequences of a medical miracle.
