A central question in Brian Friel's play Faith Healer is whether the title character is just that — or a con man. Francis Hardy is an Irishman who spent his life traveling the countryside in Scotland and Wales, bringing hope to the poor and the crippled. But even he seems unsure about the existence of his healing abilities. "Was it all chance? Or skill? Or illusion? Or delusion? Precisely what power did I possess?" Hardy asks at the beginning of the show, which opens tonight at the Unicorn Theatre (3828 Main). Hardy's story unfolds through his confessions and those of his travel partners — his hopelessly devoted agent and his mistress. The cast features Mark Robbins, Merle Moores and Bruce Roach. A three-week run of The Faith Healer kicks off at 8 p.m. Call 816-531-7529 for tickets. Unicorn Theatre
