Following a critically-aclaimed run at the Citizens' Theatre Glasgow in 2005, the National Theatre of Scotland presents Molly Sweeney in a nationwide tour this autumn. Created by Brian Friel, one of Ireland's foremost playwrights, Molly's emotional journey is at the heart of one of their most thought-provoking modern dramas.

Molly Sweeney has been unable to see since she was a child. Her lack of sight has neither held her back, nor lessened her sheer joy at everyday life. As a girl, her father taught her to recognise by touch every flower, shrub and tree in their walled garden so that she was at ease with her world.

When Molly marries the unemployed Frank, they embark on a relentless campaign to restore her sight. Packing an enormous dramatic and emotional punch, their journey results in them paying a wonderful, terrible price.

Imaginatively staged, the National Theatre of Scotland's Molly Sweeney brings audiences into a touchingly intimate relationship with the play's unfolding events.
