The Faith Healer

The Faith Healer: A Play in Four Acts is a dramatic work written by American playwright William Vaughn Moody. The play follows the story of Francis, a faith healer who travels with his wife and manager, Grace, and his stage assistant, Teddy, throughout small towns in the Midwest. Francis claims to have the power to heal the sick and injured through his faith, and his performances draw large crowds of believers and skeptics alike. However, as the play progresses, it becomes clear that Francis's powers may not be as miraculous as they seem, and the relationships between the characters become increasingly strained. Moody's play explores themes of faith, deception, and the human desire for healing and redemption. The Faith Healer was first performed in 1909 and has since become a staple of American theater.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
