Description
Riverwood Drama Department presents "The Miracle Worker" for four great shows beginning Thursday evening, October 3, 2019.
"The Miracle Worker," by William Gibson
Directed by Mary Beth van der Hoek
Presented through special arrangement with Samuel French
Time: The 1880’s
Place: In and around the Keller homestead in Tuscumbia, Alabama; also, briefly, the Perkins Institution for the Blind, Boston
Note: The production has two short intermissions
This classic play tells the story of Annie Sullivan (Aubrey Charron) and her student, blind and mute Helen Keller (Lauren Jewell). 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. Annie’s success finally comes with the utterance of a single, glorious word.
