GOING DARK to Open at Sound&Fury, 3/6

By:

After their hugely successful Kursk, trailblazing theatre company Sound&Fury return with an illuminating new show about one man's relationship with the night sky as he begins to lose his sight.

Using immersive surround sound design, moments of total darkness and inventive lighting and projections, Going Dark tells the story of Max, an astronomer who works in his local planetarium. When he is diagnosed with a rare condition that causes him to lose his eyesight, he must re-evaluate his relationship to the world around him.

Devised by Sound&Fury, written in collaboration with award-winning playwright Hattie Naylor and produced by Fuel, Going Dark is the culmination of detailed research into the Early Stages of adult blindness on the brain, supported by the Wellcome Trust.

Going Dark is directed by Mark Espiner & Dan Jones, co-created by Tom Espiner, designed by Aleš Valášek, with light by Guy Hoare, sound by Dan Jones and projection by Dick Straker.
