Drama on 3: Blindness

on BBC Radio 3

A driver waiting at the traffic lights goes blind and becomes patient zero in a contagion of blindness that sweeps through a city. The authorities isolate the blind in a mental asylum. Blind thugs take over. When all are blind, all the rules change. What it is to be human must change. Written by Nobel Prize-winning author José Saramago and translated by Giovanni Pontiero. Adapted by Matt Thompson.
