MOLLY SWEENEY

A two-act play by Irish playwright, Brian Friel, (Heartwood performed this piece at Skidompha Library in 2004, as our first adult production).   It tells the story of Molly, a woman blind since infancy, who undergoes an operation to restore her sight -  examining the issues of love, memory, and self realization.   

ELEEMOSYNARY 

(e-li-mä-sə-ner-ē) of, relating to, or dependent on charity; charitable (Heartwood performed this as a staged reading in 2008.) A one act written by Lee Blessing. Staged with utmost simplicity, the play probes into the delicate relationship of three singular women: grandmother, mother and daughter, accepting their mutual need (and summoning the courage to try) to build a life together, after years of alienation.
