Winner Best Production - Dublin Fringe Festival 2018.
Centering on a dysfunctional relationship between a blind father and his sighted daughter, My Dad’s Blind uses audio recordings, irreverent comedy and real life memories to explore a father-daughter relationship and all the awkward, embarrassing and ridiculous ways they struggle to navigate a sighted world with a guide dog that’s just had a stroke.
Reviews
★★★★

★★★★
'Feels more authentic than anything this reviewer has seen at the Fringe in years.'
