“The Braille Legacy” is the story of a great mind, Louis Braille, the blind young man who wanted the same chance in life as those who see. From an original French book and lyrics by Sébastien Lancrenon and music by Jean-Baptiste Saudray, translated by Ranjit Bolt, the show is directed by co-founder and Artistic Director, Greg Shane, with musical direction from Laurie Grant and executive produced by Martine Melloul.
The Braille Legacy tells the story of Louis Braille's fight for his system that allowed blind people to read by touch - music good, but book and lyrics lack excitement.
