Synopsis
The Miracle Worker
Published by Samuel French Inc
7 Male 7 Female
Born blind and mute, nobody knows what Helen's fate might have been had she not come under the tutelage of Annie Sullivan, an Irish girl who had also been born blind
The Miracle Worker is principally concerned with the emotional relationship between the lonely teacher and her blind charge ...
Helen, trapped in her secret world, is bitter, violent, spoiled and almost animal-like
Only Annie realizes that there is a mind waiting to be rescued from that dark, tortured silence
But Annie's success with Helen comes only after some of the most turbulent, violent, and emotion packed scenes ever presented on the stage
