More About "The Blind"

The Blind is a metadrama referencing the 1997 hit-and-run murder of 19-year-old artist and punk musician Brian Deneke in Amarillo, Texas.

Blind /blīnd/ n. A projectile not fired in anger which failed to explode when employed but may still pose a risk of future detonation.

Compelled by her concerns about a recent surge in hate crimes and the indifference she witnesses in her own community, a woman returns to her hometown to visit a former classmate more than 25 years after the murder of his brother. Her intent: to seek his blessing to write a play about the events that culminated in his brother's tragic death and the subsequent trial that upheld the power of privilege. But as the evening unfolds and as stories, songs, and challenging perspectives are exchanged between them, the clear lines of liability begin to blur around a new allegation.

The Blind is performed with deepest thanks to Jason Crespin and the historic Amarillo Little Theatre, now beginning its 98th season, and to Jason Deneke and the Deneke family.
