The Braille Legacy
The Braille Legacy is the story of a great mind, Louis Braille, the blind young man who wanted the same chance in life as those who see. From an original French book with lyrics by Sébastien Lancrenon and music by Jean-Baptiste Saudray, translated by Ranjit Bolt, it is the story of – “the People of the Night”‘ – and their fight for independence. Louis’ struggles lead his people to the gates of literacy, and so, of knowledge and culture. It is their journey “into the light”. The show will be directed by Co-founder and Artistic Director, Greg Shane. Musical Direction will be lead by Laurie Grant, Musical Director and Program Manager of Rex & Friends. Martine Melloul will serve as Executive Producer.
