Description:

J. King is a "dynamitologist", a fraudulent healer who claims to help people realize their potential. One day he is confronted with a client with faith in him. A nameless millionaire, obsessed with the voice of the opera singer Beniamino Gigli, begs to be cured of his affliction.

Synopsis:

"One of the greatest Irish plays of the century" (Irish Times) "The language of the play is on a sort of inspired bender. It surfeits on its own potency. Tom Murphy's gift - here and in his other plays - is at once to stimulate and destabilise. It's a thrilling and intense experience to sit in a theatre and hardly to know where you are or that anything exists beyond the stage in front of you...This is a dark, funny, consuming evening of high points, breaking points, hangovers and hints - uncertain hints - of hope" (Observer)
