Six years after a sold out run in the then ‘Tristan Bates Theatre’, Lee Lomas is bringing back his 5 star play Sunrise for the Blind. If the play was relevant in 2019 it’s perhaps even more relevant now with the rise of right wing politics, major push backs against immigration and thousands taking to the streets to fly the English flag - is there a more poignant time for this play to be resurrected?
A raw, naturalistic portrayal of life in a bleak North Manchester town centre, the play explores cycles of poverty, racism, and young adulthood. It follows a group of youths and families as their lives intersect around gossip, forbidden relationships, and a tragic escalation of tensions leading to violence. The story delves into lost potential, generational frustration, and the suffocating nature of small-town life.
Sunrise for the Blind pulls no punches, a familiar theme of writer, Lee Lomas, it promises to be an eye opening experience with plenty of light to balance out the shade.
Writer: Lee Lomas
Director: Andrew Darren Elkins
