Unexpected Guest, The

Theater by the Blind presents this staged reading of Agatha Christie’s murder mystery, The Unexpected Guest. The play follows a man as he runs his car into a ditch in thick fog. He comes up to a nearby house to get help and finds a dead man in a wheelchair and a beautiful woman with a smoking gun.
Watching blind people read is an exhilarating experience, whether they’re showing the flow and tension of a scene in how their arms move over Braille pages, gesturing with scripts in different sizes of large print, or listening to small tape recorders feeding their lines into their ears.
