This stirring dramatization of the story of Helen Keller is one of the most successful
and warmly admired plays of the modern stage. Blind and mute, and nobody knows what
Helen's fate might have been had she not come under the tutelage of Annie Sullivan,
an Irish girl who had been born blind. The Miracle Worker is principally concerned
with the emotional relationship between the lonely teacher and her blind charge.
Little Helen, trapped in her secret world, is bitter, violent, spoiled and almost
animal like. Only Annie realizes that there is a mind waiting to be rescued from that
dark, tortured silence. Annie's success with Helen comes only after some of the most
turbulent, violent, and emotion packed scenes ever presented on the stage.
