Blindness, The Donmar Warehouse production of Nobel Prize-winner José Saramago's
dystopian novel written by Tony Award winner Simon Stephens (The Curious Incident of the Dog
in the Night-Time) and directed by Walter Meierjohann, is now in performances at the Daryl Roth
Theatre (101 East 15th Street at Union Square East).

Presented by Tony Award-winning producer Daryl Roth, Blindness marked one of the first
performing arts events to open in New York City. The show's opening night was Tuesday, April 6.
Blindness is a socially distanced sound and light experience. Through spellbinding storytelling
narrated by Olivier Award winner Juliet Stevenson, it unveils the gripping story of a world changed forever in the blink of an eye, reminding us that from the darkness, we will all emerge stronger.

Blindness's premiere at the Donmar brought patrons together to witness its urgent and timely
message. Just as it was presented in London, attendees in New York will hear the narrative unfolding around them through binaural headphone technology while surrounded by immersive lighting and atmospheric design. Together - and safely - they will experience the importance of community in our present moment, and be reminded of the hope that lies ahead.

The creative team for Blindness includes Ben and Max Ringham (sound designers), Lizzie
Clachan (designer), Jessica Hung Han Yun (lighting designer), Markus Potter (US associate
director), Chris Cronin (US associate sound designer), Gina Scherr (US associate lighting designer), Professor Hannah Thompson (UK production consultant), and Sara Aniqah Malik (UK resident assistant director).

In New York, Blindness is produced by Daryl Roth, Elizabeth Armstrong, Jane Bergère, Tom
Tuft, No Guarantees, and Gabrielle Palitz/Jack Lane.

Blindness runs approximately 70 minutes with no intermission, and is recommended for ages
15+.
