For 10 days at the end of the summer, the award-winning, in-the-round auditorium will be filled with four world premiere plays performed in rep alongside cabaret, comedy, family shows, drag, a host of activities for young people in partnership with Lambeth ELEVATE and a programme of community events.

Blindness had its world premiere at London's Donmar Warehouse in August 2020, where it received rave reviews and re-opened the theatre for audiences for the first time in over five months.

The Belgrade Theatre has announced that Paines’s Plough’s ROUNDABOUT season 2021 will open in Wood End in Coventry this week, with four world premieres taking place in Paines Plough’s award-winning, portable, in-the-round auditorium, situated in the grounds of the Moat House Leisure and Neighbourhood Centre in Wood End.

Just two weeks remain to experience Blindness, the acclaimed Donmar Warehouse production of Nobel Prize-winner José Saramago’s dystopian novel by Tony Award-winning playwright Simon Stephens and directed by Walter Meierjohann, at the Daryl Roth Theatre (101 East 15th Street at Union Square East).

Twelve lucky readers will win two tickets to Blindness at the Daryl Roth Theatre. The winners will receive one voucher, good for two tickets to the production through July 21. The contest closes on Sunday, July 11 at 11:59pm ET. Winners will be notified the following day via email.

David Mirvish presents the Canadian premiere of the Donmar Warehouse production of Blindness, a socially distanced sound installation, on the stage of the Princess of Wales Theatre. 

The line-up of four world premieres includes a new musical by Chinonyerem Odimba - BLACK LOVE, in rep with Chris Bush's new play HUNGRY, and Phoebe Eclair-Powell's new family show REALLY BIG AND REALLY LOUD.

Blindness, the acclaimed Donmar Warehouse production of Nobel Prize-winner José Saramago’s dystopian novel by Tony Award-winning playwright Simon Stephens and directed by Walter Meierjohann, will conclude its run at the Daryl Roth Theatre on Sunday, July 25.

Under Haydon's stewardship, the Rose's own work will be the priority, as demonstrated by the five Rose Originals in this upcoming season, but there will always be room on the theatre's stage for the country's leading touring shows as well.  This season's Rose Originals are a blend of new plays tackling significant contemporary issues and well-known titles reinvented for today.

Jeff James (La Musica at Young Vic) and James Yeatman's bold and brilliant adaptation, first seen at the Royal Exchange Theatre in 2017, brings all the sharp observation and quick wit of Jane Austen's novel to the stage, without a bonnet in sight.
