Sightless Cinema's latest production 'Dogs Life' will be coming soon to a well-known County Kildare venue.
The group will returns to the Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge later this month after a successful debut there in 2024.
'Dog's Life' forms part of national tours of short audio plays.
According to Sightless Cinema, the show will offer audiences "a highly entertaining night of thrillers, comedies, horrors and true stories in surround-sound audio".
The group elaborated: "Stories include: 'Open Fire', a comedy set during an electricity black-out after a storm; 'The Devil’s Sliotar', a fun folk-horror about a village desperate to lift a terrible curse; 'Look Who’s Barking', about a litter of guide dog pups taking their final test course, and 'Dye Another Day', where a woman going on a first date has a very bad hair day!"
"The plays are presented as a mix of recorded and live audio dramas, performed on stage by 22 members of the Sightless Cinema Network from three counties.

"In its eleventh successful year, Sightless Cinema is a collaborative arts project for people with sight loss who devise, produce and present audio theatre.
"Director Ciarán Taylor has established a new group in Kildare this year, at Riverbank, creating new audio dramas together through weekly workshops for future productions."
Mr Taylor himself also had this to say: "Audiences really love being immersed in the sounds of the stories, and have great fun with the variety of pieces."
In addition, Sightless Cinema said that new members are welcome to join the group.
The group is funded by Kildare County Arts Office, Creative Ireland and Rethink Ireland. It is also supported by Riverbank Arts Centre and Vision Ireland.
Sightless Cinema will also be touring to:
