'Second Sight' existed as part of 'Oedipus/Antigone' to mark the last use of the old Sherman Theatre building before its renovation. This show was a collaboration between the Sherman Youth Theatre, Acting Out and artists from the Sherman's New Artists' Development Scheme. Every inch of the theatre became potential performance space and so I developed a concept, inspired by DJ Britton's adaptation of Oedipus, for the Sherman Admin Offices.
