About the Play
Coming soon! The second of BETC’s Plays With Fire staged readings: The Wheelchair on My Face by Irish playwright Sonya Kelly.
Irish actor-playwright-comedian Sonya Kelly penned this memoir-meets-theatre-meets-standup-comedy piece about growing up with poor vision that went undiagnosed until she was seven years old. The witty, honest story of how she found her way, this New York Times Critic’s Pick play revels in how we can better the world even if we cannot see the world.
(Please note: this special event is not included in a BETC subscription.)
