timcmurphy_1_blind_to_happinessFrom press release

Written and performed by Tim Murphy – who has performed to critical acclaim in 65 theatres around the world, directed by Fringe veteran Johnny Walker (Red Headed Step Child) and dramaturged by the award-winning TJ Dawe (One Man Star Wars) – Blind to Happiness tells the story of a college drop-out who appears happy on the outside but is secretly afraid of turning into his blind, diabetic father.

As Murphy brings multiple characters to life in this tour de force performance, the audience is asked “Is happiness really a choice?”
