I first learned about Helen Keller and her remarkable teacher Annie Sullivan when I was twelve, acting in the play The Miracle Worker Wyndham’s Theatre, London – Olympia Theatre, Dublin – Playhouse Theatre, Sheffield. They have both been special to me ever since.
Their story is a moving and powerful one. Of a teacher who unlocked a blind, deaf and dumb child from the prison of her handicap to teach her language and how to speak.
