The Miracle Worker Proves Successful This year's winter drama production was The Miracle Worker . Miss Lakanen, director of the play, said that the play proved to be a tremendous suc- cess. She also said that it was probably one of the best plays ever presented in the last three years at WHS. The Miracle Worker is a three act play by Wil- liam Gibson. lt is the story of Helen Keller, who was both blind and deaf, and how she overcame her handicaps. Ephraim Wilkinson, a real dog, was used as part of the play. Jon Potter was the assistant director. The set for The Miracle Worker was a very diffi- cult one to make. It consisted of two levels, each representing a story of the Keller home. A complete flight of stairs had to be built into the set. 26 The Miracle Worker 1. Annie Sullivan QC.
