I’d Rather Go Blind

Michelle and Ruby look like any other mother and daughter. They dance together, they sing together, fight with each other and hide from each other. But as it approaches Ruby’s birthday, Michelle wonders if perhaps she has been too hidden. Inspired and informed by women who have lived through the criminal justice system, Somalia Seaton’s I’d Rather Go Blind, is a tender exploration of what it takes to be a mother in a world that is closing in around you.

I’d Rather Go Blind is produced in celebration of the extraordinary women Futures Theatre and Somalia Seaton worked with throughout 2017.
