Tamut Drama presents Molly Sweeny

Three characters, three stories, and three ideas lead to the fall of a woman: Molly Sweeny. Sweeny, blind since birth, is convinced by her husband to undergo an operation to restore her sight but is ultimately used by the doctor for his own benefits and betrayed by her husband.

This is the TAMUT Drama Department’s latest undertaking. Molly Sweeny is being played by Nathalie Gounaud, her husband, Frank, by Hollis Thompson and the doctor, Mr. Rice, by David Zwirn. The chorus consists of Chandler Moree, Daniel Jones, Hanna McClain, and Allyson Couture.

The show will run April 26th, 27th, and 28th in Talon Theatre, located in the University Center, room 326. All shows will start at 7:30 pm. General admission will be $8; all students and A&M employees will be charged $5. For more information, contact Brian Billings at bbillings@tamut.edu.
