The Miracle Worker

by William Gibson

Directed by Susan Gregg

February 11–March 8, 2009

Blind, deaf and mostly mute, six-year-old Helen Keller was pitied and coddled by her family, so spoiled that she terrorized the household with tantrums and tricks. Then Anne Sullivan arrived, barely 20 years old, holding the key that would unlock the door between Helen and the world. This Tony Award-winning play is a lyrical, profoundly moving story of courage and communication, and a testament to the powerful influence of dedicated teachers.

Steve's Take: Based in part on Keller's own memoirs and told with great warmth by William Gibson, this uplifting drama is perfect for the whole family to share.
