Highlights
What readers are saying
Readers have mixed feelings about Magic Hands Freddy. While the first act is widely appreciated for its heartwarming qualities, the second act disappoints many with its darker tone and implications.
Synopsis
This provocative new play is about two brothers whose lives are worlds apart, but whose loyalty and love for each other creates a compelling, dramatic story.
Freddy, a masseur, lives a simple hard working life, yet he develops a keen in-depth philosophy about the world around him.
We learn more about his hardships and the betrayal he soon dicovers in this play's non-linear journey through his life and memories.
