A Drama

The Miracle Worker by William Gibson

Highly regarded as an American theatre classic, this play tells the story

of the teacher who brought language and compassion into Helen Keller's 

dark, silent world.  Drawing heavily from letters written by Anne Sullivan

 in 1887, the drama unfolds with wit and humor to reveal events leading 

to the famous friendship.
