Trawling through the remote and lonely villages of Ireland, Wales and Scotland is The Fantastic Frank Hardy, who for one night only promises miracle cures for the sick and the suffering. He might just be more showman than shaman but… the promise of the impossible is irresistible.
But it’s Frank’s shapeshifting gift and proclamations that bring him into conflict with his wife Grace and manager Teddy. As they each recount their lives together, they unveil a well of fractured memories.
Artistic Director Rachel O’Riordan (A Doll’s House, Iphigenia in Splott) directs.
