THE SPOTLIGHT J By Michelle Kagan D & M Productions will present Brian Friel's Faith Healer-as its inaugu ral production on Saturday, Sept. 27 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 28, at 3 p.m. at the Old Songs Dutch Barn at the Altamont Fairgrounds. Friel is Ireland's best-known living playwright who wrote the 1992 Tony Award winning play, Dancing at Lughnasa. Faith Healer tells the story of Francis Hardy, an alcoholic, hitter Irish faith healer, with a guilty past, who travels throughout the British Isles with his English-Irish wife, Grace, imd his flamboyant Cockney manager, Teddy. The director of the production, F. Paul Dellio, described the play as, "Very peculiar and oddly moving story ofthree people in a sweetly hellish relationship." For Frank, healing has become more a curse than a blessing. He obsessively questions where it comes from, even as it wanes over. the years. Grace clings to her loyalty to Frank, but his twisted character drives her further into despair. Meanwhile, Teddy tries to make sense of their life on the road. Returning to Ireland, the three are plunged into a tragedy, which the play describes through four interlocking monologues. Each character presents different versions of the story, in a manner similar to the classic Japanese film Rashomon. James Mason played the faith healer in the show's 1979 debut at the Longacre Theatre in New York City. Grace and Teddy were the. played by Clarissa Kaye and Donald Donnelly. Dellio has also directed productions of Lady Windemere's Fan, Les Liaisons Dangeruses and Murder in the Cathedral. Faith Healer features three veteran actors: Ed McMullen as Frank, Lynnette Noonan as Grace, and Parker Cross as Teddy. McMullen is also the show's producer. Dellio said of this production, "As usual, Friel's use of language in a musical and poetic form has done nothing but underscore the characteriza tions of each individual." General admission is $10 and $8 for senior citizens and students. Tickets are available at the door. For reservations, call The Book House at Stuyvesant Plaza at 489-4 761. The Old Songs Dutch Barn is located on the Altamont Fairground's main entrance.
