Experience the beloved, gripping and inspiring story based on the real-life events of Helen Keller and her teacher, Anne Sullivan. Set in the late 19th century, the play by William Gibson explores the transformative journey of communication and understanding between a young deaf-blind girl and her determined tutor. Through patience, perseverance, and empathy, Anne Sullivan unlocks Helen’s world, leading to a powerful and touching exploration of resilience, compassion, and the triumph of the human spirit.
Trapped in a secret, silent world, unable to communicate, young Helen is violent and spoiled, treated by her family as subhuman. Only Annie sees a mind and spirit waiting to be rescued from Helen’s dark, tortured silence. After scenes of intense physical and emotional struggle, Helen’s breakthrough finally arrives with the utterance of a single, glorious word: “water.”
The Miracle Worker began as a television play and later won a Tony Award in 1959 for Gibson from his original 1957 telefilm script. Gibson, an American playwright, is best known for his plays The Miracle Worker and Two For the Seesaw and for enlisting Anne Bancroft’s talent (as Sullivan), a then-unknown actress.
