The One-eyed Man is King

About the Show

The One-Eyed Man is King is a charming and witty modern fable that challenges our view of a “normal” life – and “normal” love. Lise, trying to cope with the impending loss of a terminally ill husband–and the recriminations of an angry stepdaughter–is confronted in her home one night by the charismatic thief Bendalli, a blind man who struggles to “see” his way into the lives of others. The pair form an unlikely bond, and when lines of sight and vision begin to blur, both find their approach to the world dramatically altered.

The production features well known San Francisco actors, Andi Trindle (Lise) and Dan Wilson (Bendalli), starring opposite one another for the first time since Triple Shot Production’s acclaimed production, Riches, in 2008. Newcomer Allie Jones brings high energy to the character Elliot. Riches Director, Bahati Bonner, returns to lead this experienced cast.

Triple Shot Productions is the resident theater producing company of Lyric Productions Inc., a 501(c)3 based in San Francisco, California. Lyric Productions provides fiscal sponsorship to other artists and theater companies locally and beyond, in addition to producing our own work. Triple Shot Productions’ mission is to produce ambitious, soulful, and skillful theater of social and political relevance.

The proceeds from the opening night benefit will go to benefit San Francisco Theater.
