Socially distanced sound installation to be Toronto's first indoor theatre production
Toronto’s first indoor theatrical production since the pandemic shut theatres and live performance venues across the city and the country is coming this summer.
Blindness, a socially distanced sound installation, is currently set to premiere on August 4 at Toronto’s Princess of Wales Theatre, and run through August 28.
According to Mirvish, the indoor performance will be limited to an audience of 50 people, who will be seated in groups of one or two. Additionally, the company said everyone in attendance — both staff and the audience — will be required to wear masks.
Tickets will go on sale to the public at 10:00 am on June 23 online at $59 each.

Mirvish Productions owner David Mirvish said the company feels “more confident” they’ll be able to put on the show now that the province’s vaccine rollout is underway.
Blindness is an adaptation of Nobel Prize-winning author Jose Saramago’s dystopian novel of the same name. Playwright Simon Stephens adapted the novel for the stage, and the show first premiered at London’s Donmar Warehouse in August 2020. A film adaption of the novel was made in 2008, starring Julianne Moore.
