Full casting has been announced for Brian Friel’s Faith Healer, which through a series of monologues, brings together stories of a healer, his manager, and his manager. The play opens at the Lyric Hammersmith on March 14th.
The cast features Declan Conlon as Frank, Nick Holder as Teddy, and Justine Mitchell as Grace, and will be directed by Lyric Hammersmith Theatre’s artistic director Rachel O’Riordan. The wider creative team also includes Paul Keogan (lighting design), Colin Richmond (set design), Sophie Parrott CDG (casting), and Anna Clock (composition and sound design).
Speaking of the announcement, O’Riordan commented: “Faith Healer is a play I have long wanted to direct; its exploration of the instability of truth opens up great possibilities. As one of the most highly-regarded playwrights of our time, Friel’s play deservedly earns its status as a ‘masterpiece’. I couldn’t be prouder to be directing this Irish classic with a powerhouse cast for our audiences here in West London and beyond.”
Faith Healer will run at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre until April 13th.
Booking & Theatre Info For Faith Healer
The Lyric Hammersmith is a medium size venue located on King Street, W6, close to Hammersmith Underground Station, and has a capacity of 586 seats on three levels.
Premium seats in the theatre are primarily located in the centre of the Stalls, along with the front of the Circle which both offer great options for large-scale musical productions, giving you a complete panoramic view of the stage. Seats in the Stalls generally offer great views of the action, due to a good rake in the seating and its proximity to the stage.
Well-priced and cheap seats can be found at the rear of the Stalls, which offer a great overall view of the stage at a reduced price. Sitting in the back of the Circle is also good value for money with clear-view seating from an elevated position. bargain hunters looking for lastminute tickets on a strict budget should look at options in the Upper Circle.
