"A Tuna Christmas"

“The Miracle Worker”
By William Gibson
Synopsis: This stirring dramatization of the story of Helen Keller is one of the most successful and warmly admired plays of the modern stage.

Only Annie realizes that there is a mind waiting to be rescued from that dark, tortured silence.
