Back to Productions FAITH HEALER – BROADWAY This production began performances on 18th April and closed on 30th July 2006. Faith Healer is a masterpiece. A magnificent piece of storytelling. A gripping production that has you on the edge of your seat and wiping the tears from your eyes. Daily Telegraph Faith Healer tells the moving tale of dissolute, charasmatic Frank Hardy ( Fiennes ), his long-time lover ( Jones ) and his devoted manager ( McDiarmid ) as they travel the back roads of Scotland and Wales peddling miracles. As the three wrestle with Hardy's genuine but elusive gift for healing, they ask potent questions about who we trust, what we know and why we believe. Faith Healer offers the unique opportunity to see three of our finest actors on one stage and delights those with faith in the enduring power of live theatre. In the astonishing and mesmerising new Broadway production of Brian Friel's great play, Ralph Fiennes paints a portrait of an artist as dreamer and destroyer that feels so fresh. Rarely has his glamorous star shine been put to such powerful use. The New York Times Ralph Fiennes returns to Broadway - alongside Cherry Jones , fresh from her tour de force in Doubt - in Brian Friel 's Faith Healer , a spellbinding play in which each revelation upends all that has come before it. Faith Healer was mounted on Broadway in May 1979, starring James Mason and directed by Jose Quintero . In the quarter century since, several high-profile productions have established its critical standing as equal to that of Friel 's other masterworks Philadelphia , Here I Come and the Tony-winning Best Play Dancing at Lughnasa . Theatrical magic! Brian Friel's play is brilliantly evocative" The Guardian CAST RALPH FIENNES – Frank IAN MCDIARMID – Teddy CHERRY JONES – Grace CREATIVES BRIAN FRIEL – Playwright JONATHAN KENT – Director JONATHAN FEMSOM – Designer MARK HENDERSON – Lighting Designer

Back to News & Press Sonia Friedman shares her memories of working with Max Stafford-Clark in The Guardian. Tuesday, 26 May 2015 Sonia Friedman shares her experiences of working with Stafford-Clark from her days as producer and co-founder of Out of Joint. After 13 years running the Royal Court, Stafford-Clark was facing freelance life once again, something he has always associated with artistic exile. He had offers, not least from the RSC, but setting up his own company, as he’d done twice before, with the Traverse Workshop Company and Joint Stock, allowed him to keep hold of the reins. While thinking this through, he received a letter from a young producer, Sonia Friedman, in-house at the National Theatre and seeking a new challenge. Like him, she was convinced that British theatre needed Stafford-Clark doing his own thing. “He was – and probably still is – our greatest dramaturg-director and champion of new work,” she tells me. “He has discovered and nurtured a generation of writers who have influenced another generation of writers.” That roster of writers speaks for itself: David Hare, Caryl Churchill, Howard Brenton, Timberlake Wertenbaker, Mark Ravenhill. He has inspired them with subjects as often as they’ve inspired him with scripts, and the Joint Stock method, which lets writers explore a subject collaboratively, before writing individually, has become a standard practice. Modern classics such as Fanshen, Serious Money and Shopping and Fucking wouldn’t exist without him. Two that he triggered – Our Country’s Good and Light Shining in Buckinghamshire – are in Rufus Norris’s first National Theatre season. As Friedman says: “His influence is immense and his body of work astounding.” To read the full article click here . Up Up
