←Recommendations of Blind No. 7

This heartfelt play takes you on a journey. Williams has crafted a short piece with a laughter, care and heart. This is more than father and sons coming together, it's about an understanding and respect of each other as they journey through life.

It's in what isn't said that you realize who this story is really about. Philip does a wonderful job creating the ultimate bonding, or what should be the ultimate bonding experience for both of Clyde's boys. Clever, impressive strategic purpose driven dialogue, coupled with amazing visual representations. You get it all and more in this short story.

As show number two chronologically in the series, it all makes sense. 1+1+1 = more than you thought it would mean and Philip doesn't disappoint.

I enjoy the quiet gentleness of this play—male-bonding without the chest-thumping, just a father and two sons spending time together and enjoying each other’s company. These are the kinds of moments that mean the most when you are growing up, and, though we spend just a short time with these characters, the depth and strength of their relationship jumps off the page.

A coming together of generations, packed with authentic dialogue and male bonding in a non-toxic and loving manner. It depicts the evolution of this family's understanding of masculinity and traditional roles. It shows when we truly love someone -love triumphs. Appreciate the arch of the father exploring his preconceived bias and upbringing to forge a relationship with his son.

A beautiful. well-executed play driven by unique character voices, BLIND NO. 7 delivers a tale of father/son male bonding, a reveal that amplifies acceptance without judgment, and love that is unconditional. A most satisfying read, and a play that deserves production!

Love the father-son dynamic in this piece and always appreciate a good "dad joke." Philip Middleton Williams has rendered a believable and engaging family dynamic with this play, and the respect and love between the characters is clear. This piece creates a great opportunity for male-identifying actors to step into roles that center male family relationships without being stereotypical or toxic.

A lovely entry in Philip Middleton Williams’ decades-spanning series of family stories, Blind No. 7 gives us a crucial moment in young Dan’s life — and he’s not even present for it. A portrait of male bonding at its doofiest and most non-toxic, this three-guys-out-hunting play is sweet and charming.

PHILIP MIDDLETON WILLIAMS’s play is so beautiful in meaningful ways: a reveal of a son being gay without any blowback; a boy’s protective nature for his brother; and a father’s acceptance without any judgement. “Blind No. 7” is another brilliant work of a great playwright.

Philip Middleton Williams is a master at writing moving family plays. This story of respect and accepting others without needing to understand gives a loving perspective.

A short, semi-sweet piece that explores relationships between brothers, fathers, and sons. There are differences, secrets, confessions, but the familial bond stays strong, and that is a breath of fresh air in times such as these.
