“Catching The Ghost: An unseen performance”

Launching Guide Dogs Week 2016 a performance from Extant, Britain’s leading theatrical company for people living with sight loss, will take place at The Scoop Amiptheatre at sunset.

Combining wit with sentiment, the performance sheds light on what it’s like to live with sight loss through the autobiographical story of a young man Chris, who has found the inner strength to live life to the fullest.

When he lost his sight as a teen Chris felt isolated, misunderstood and at points, suicidal. Through comical anecdotes, he brings the audience on this fascinating journey and reveals how he eventually found light in the darkest moments. Although he still lives with limitations, his magnetic performance inspires us to understand sight loss needn’t be a barrier to achieving our dreams.

Coronation Street star, Wendi Peters will host the evening with celebrities joining the audience to support Guide Dogs Week 2016.

To help continue the life saving work the charity Guide Dogs does for people just like Chris, it’s calling on the UK to ‘Move It for Money’ this Guide Dogs Week (1-9 October) and raise vital funds.
