I had booked 4 theatre tickets to see Brian Friel’s play ‘Faith Healer”. I was certain it started at 7.30 pm. Unfortunately,  I was wrong. Sitting at the bar in La Bottega,  I texted my sister-in-law to ask if she and her husband wanted to grab a bite to eat before the play. She informed me it was the interval and where were we?

I got a taxi and raced over to the Lyric theatre where they were good enough to smuggle me into the back row.

My brother and sister-in-law helped me make sense of the plot with its four different monologues. The performances that I saw briefly were well acted and the tragic tale well told.
