To see or not to see: Edinburgh fringe ’s startling plays about perception
Two new shows at the festival question senses of hearing and sight in engaging and eccentric waysSeeing is believing, right? That is a phrase used repeatedly by Mamoru Iriguchi and co-star Gavin Pringle in What You See When Your Eyes Are Closed/What You Don ’t See When Your Eyes Are Open (★★★★☆).
