Acerca de esta escucha

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.

I wanted to like this

but I just could not. It was heavy, and monitone- not engaging at all.
I am familiar with the author's work which is what drew me to it in the first place

Disappointing

Disappointing that he turned into a drunker. And only to the end did he realize could of moved mountains.
Devil ruled, I only kept listening in hopes it would change, shows you when you get a gift. You don’t loose it. A failed destiny!
