Lynn Manning was blinded by a gunshot to his left eye in a Los Angeles bar at the age of 23. Weights is an inspiring one-man show in which he draws on prose, poetry and live music to tell his story.
After being shot in the head by a stranger the bullet destroyed Manning's left eye, severed the optic nerve in his right and lodged in his skull, where it remains. His identity in the world's view changed that day, he reflects, from black man to blind man. Manning deploys offbeat humour - including wooing a woman he can't see and the travails of urination.
