The play looks at financial, emotional and psychological abuse. It illustrates the subtle dynamic that exists between the victim and the perpetrator and the difficulties in recognising this kind of abuse.

Written by Patricia Byrne and directed by Shauna Kelpie, See No Evil tells the story of how vulnerable elderly farmer Danny, illiterate and living alone, is “looked after” by his neighbours. Grateful for their assistance, he is unaware that these helpful neighbours are actually helping themselves to his finances, manipulating his thoughts and actions, and turning him against the only family he has left. When his niece visits from London, she can sense that something sinister is in the air but is she too late to stop it?

 

Writer Shauna Kelpie said “ We are grateful to the funders: the Arts Council of Northern Ireland National Lottery Fund, the Department of Justice and the DHSSPS for supporting this tour on this important issue.”
