“ Groups of up to 50 people will be seated, socially distanced, on the Princess of Wales Theatre stage for “Blindness.” The production is a sound installation adaptation of the 1995 novel by Nobel Prize-winning author José Saramago.

“Five weeks that are completely sold out will still be less than three performances at the Princess of Wales in normal circumstances,” said Mirvish.

There’s no way you could even pay the taxes on the building on this show. But what you can do is put some people back to work and show a glimmer of what is possible, and hope that there will be some theatre in some reasonable time in our future.”
