Auckland Writers Festival, in partnership with Auckland Live, presents the Donmar Warehouse production of Blindness. A socially-distanced sound installation and immersive theatre experience direct from the UK. Voiced by Juliet Stevenson.
Blindness, the adaptation of Nobel Laureate José Saramago’s 1995 novel of the same name, written by Tony Award-winning playwright Simon Stephens and directed by Walter Meierjohann, was originally staged at London’s Donmar Warehouse. It was the first production to be delivered to a paying public following the UK’s first COVID-19 lockdown.
