“The Miracle Worker” at Villagers Theatre

A heart-wrenching and uplifting look at Helen Keller. Blind and mute, who knows what would have become of her if were not for Annie Sullivan’s tutelage. Annie, an Irish girl, had been born blind and knows the secret of young Helen’s world. The emotional thunder of the teacher-student relationship unfurls into a maelstrom of turbulence as Annie pries into the world of Helen, trying to pull the girl from her own black and secret midnight animal self.
