Blindness
From the novel by José Saramago
Adapted and directed by Bob Pavlich
A contagion has spread through the city inflicting sudden and unexplainable blindness on people. In order to contain the infection and maintain order the government steps in and enforces radical measures to ensure that the blind are restrained.
Isolated from the rest of the world the blind inmates of the asylum struggle to maintain a civil society as they cope with lack of food, the breakdown of basic facilities and the threat from other hostile inmates.
From the novel by Nobel prize winning author Jose saramago, this will be the first time this story has been presented on an Australian stage.
