I am now one of the 75 blindfolded people seated to “watch” a play through every other sense except sight. I immediately start searching for a familiar hand [of the friend who accompanied me] and demand that I be seated next to her. The descriptive narration was dotted with sensory theatre, comprising acts like having to raise our hands to receive a sweet treat: maybe a date or a cupcake. Strong notes of vanilla wafted through the air, an olfactory treat, in preparation for what was about to be tasted. Then, naturally, it also begs the question: why do we not see more inclusive theatre in the city, or even the country?
