“Brian Friel’s exploration of triumph and loss is a brilliant, highly poetic masterwork of the theatre,” said director Falls. “I’m particularly excited to work with this extraordinary cast—two of whom are among the American theatre’s finest together with one of Great Britain’s most thrilling actors.”

The Goodman's Molly Sweeney will feature set design by Todd Rosenthal, costume design by Noel Huntzinger, lighting design by Eric Southern, and sound design and composition by Richard Woodbury. Nikki Blue is the production stage manager.
