By: Ethan Sills When you think of the Auckland s Writers Festival, you probably think of a relaxed day spent listening to authors talk about their work, where the only drama comes when that one person with an essay rather than a question gets their hands on the mic at the Q&A after.
Perhaps that relaxed air is what makes the festival s choice of theatrical production this year such an unexpected shock.
AWF s production of Blindness is the latest iteration to travel the world since London s Donmar Warehouse adapted Jose Saramago s 1992 book last year. The audiovisual production has been designed with heightened Covid alert levels in mind, with pairs of seats socially distanced in a rigid format that feels like it has a purpose, but it s one you won t discover until halfway through the show.
