About the Show

A Nobel Prize winning dystopian novel comes to life in this socially-distant, audial experience.

Tony Award winning playwright Simon Stephens adapts Nobel Prize-winner José Saramago’s dystopian novel and immerses audiences in a gripping experience using headphones to narrate the story, lighting and atmospheric design. "Blindness" depicts how a society dismantles after a wave of sudden blindness disables a town. In a race for power and survival emerges hope, humanity and strength.
