These days, the Faith Healer is one of Brian Friel’s most revered creations, but when it debuted in 1979, it was an embarrassing flop that fizzled after just 20 performances. A Broadway revival with Ralph Fiennes in 2006 gave a significant boast to the play’s prestige. Through March 2 the Next Act Theatre is presenting their own production of this nuanced drama about a washed-up faith healer looking to get his mojo back. Tonight they stage a 7:30 performance in the Off-Broadway Theatre.
