The Country of the Blind

Eduardo, a poor farmer blind in one eye, climbs the Andes Mountains seeking The Country of the Blind, hoping the old saying is true: “In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.” He arrives to find the paths are indeed lined with gold and the people are without sight, but now he must learn to live with his own disability–being a seeing man in a world of blind persons. The Country of the Blind is a world premiere by Frank Higgins from the story by H.G. Wells.
