"The Miracle Worker"

This four time Tony Award winning play tells the story of Annie Sullivan and her student, blind and mute Helen Keller. The Miracle Worker dramatizes the volatile relationship between the lonely teacher and her charge. Trapped in a secret, silent world, unable to communicate, Helen is violent; spoiled; almost sub-human and treated by her family as such. Only Annie realizes that there is a mind and spirit waiting to be rescued from the dark, tortured silence. With scenes emotional dynamism, Annie’s success with Helen finally comes with the utterance of a single, glorious word: “water”.
