Blind Eye

"Blind Eye" is a poignant play that captures the lives of Wally and Vera Matthews, an elderly couple whose deep affection for one another defies societal norms. Set in their modest home, the story unfolds through their tender interactions, revealing the profound bond they share despite the escalating challenges of ageing. Wally, a retired bricklayer, tenderly cares for Vera, who is blind and beginning to show signs of early dementia. Their tranquil life is turned upside down when Wally is injured during an assault, prompting Alice, a dedicated district nurse, to step in and assist Vera during his recovery.

As the play progresses, it becomes clear that all is not as it appears to be. Wally's struggle to protect Vera becomes increasingly intense as he navigates his fears of losing her to the outside world and the repercussions of their choices. Their bond stands as a testament to love's resilience against the pressures of judgment, prompting the audience to reflect on the nature of devotion, the impact of secrets on relationships, and the grey areas of morality.

The play leaves viewers to ponder the complexities of human connections and the lengths one will go to safeguard those they cherish.
