Seeing with My Dog

In Touch delves into the mind of visually impaired playwright Roderick Dungate, who has embedded his story of losing his vision into his latest production, Seeing with My Dog.

'Seeing With My Dog' is the latest work from visually impaired playwright Roderick Dungate. The play explores Rod's turmoil with losing his vision and the complexities of training with a guide dog. In Touch's reporter Bethan Langford attended one of the production's rehearsals and she provides her impressions of the experience. Rod also joins the programme, and describes the play's themes and about how access for visually impaired audience members has been prioritised in various ways.
