Guthrie Director Joe Dowling, known throughout the United States and Ireland as a preeminent director and scholar of Brian Friel's work, has returned to his acting roots - making his American acting debut - playing the title role in this powerful play about Frank Hardy, his wife Grace and talent manager Teddy.
Dowling takes to the stage opposite longtime Guthrie favorites Sally Wingert (Third) and Raye Birk (Scrooge in A Christmas Carol). In this intimate portrait of three adults, told through a series of four emotionally stirring monologues, Frank, Grace and Teddy each describe their own version of the personal and professional bond they share, the astonishing yet unpredictable nature of Frank's ability, and how their lives were ultimately shaped forever by a single event.
Running now through December 6 at McGuire Proscenium Stage. Tickets range in price from $24-60 and can be purchased by clicking here.
