Dublin: Brian Friel's Faith Healer has broken the record at Dublin's Gate Theatre. It has become the first production in the theatre's 78 year history to sell out its entire run before playing a single performance.
Faith Healer, directed by Jonathan Kent, will begin previews at the Booth Theater on April 18th and offically open on May 4th for a run through July 30th.
Starring in the Broadway production will be Ralph Fiennes as Frank Hardy, Cherry Jones as Hardy's long-time lover, Grace, and Ian McDiarmid as Teddy, Hardy's manager.
