Abigail Breslin to Play ‘Helen Keller’

Abigail Breslin is set to make her Broadway debut next March in the first revival of 1960 best play winner “The Miracle Worker.”

Abiagil will play Helen Keller, the famous American author, political activist and lecturer who was also blind and deaf. The play follows the story of how Keller’s teacher, Annie Sullivan, broke through the isolation imposed by a near complete lack of language, allowing the girl to blossom as she learned to communicate.

“The Miracle Worker” is quite a celebrated production having won four Tonys in 1960 and two Oscars in 1963 for the screen adaptation.

I’m sure Abigail will be amazing!
