Fiennes, Jones to headline ‘Healer’

Ralph Fiennes is coming to Broadway for the first time since his 1995 Tony Award-winning performance in “Hamlet.”

Fiennes, who has appeared in movies such as “The Constant Gardener” and “The English Patient,” will star in a revival of Brian Friel’s “Faith Healer,” opening May 4 at the Booth Theatre after a run in Ireland at Gate Theatre in Dublin.

The actor will appear with another Tony winner, Cherry Jones, in Friel’s tale of Frank Hardy, a faith healer; his loyal companion, Grace, and the man’s devoted manager, portrayed by Ian McDiarmid.
