The Miracle Worker tells the story of the relationship between the deaf and blind Keller and Annie Sullivan, the teacher who brought the almost feral girl into the world of learning. Mark Twain, an admirer of both women, dubbed Sullivan a “miracle worker” providing the inspiration for the name of Gibson’s work. Originally produced as a television play, it moved to Broadway and was later adapted into a feature film. Starring on Broadway and in the movie, Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke earned Academy Awards for the film version.
