BLIND
by Lot Vekemans
Translated from the Dutch by Eva M. Pieper and Alexandra Schmiedebach
After the death of his wife, Richard lives in seclusion in a closely guarded gated community. He has fired his long-time housekeeper for no apparent reason. Now he takes on his only daughter Helen to look after him as he becomes increasingly dependent on care. There has been a long period of silence between father and daughter, with more separating them than uniting them. During one of the daughter's flying visits, the electric shutters close automatically - just as they are supposed to in the event of a robbery. Father and daughter are forced to hold out together.
"How should we live together?" asks the most frequently performed Dutch playwright Lot Vekemans in her new play, striking a chord with the times.
