The Play
 
A blind and a lame man journey together - with the latter sitting on the former’s shoulders - to a mansion where a beautiful princess, believed to be asleep for a 100 years is about to awaken. All who she looks upon will be freed from their miseries.
Walking towards a common goal as one body they suffer from differences, which make the journey difficult. They cannot use their combined strength wisely due to their suspicions of each other. Jealousy, distrust and treachery overwhelm them as both try to mislead each other. Finally, even though they reach their destination, the journey ends on a tragic note as the psychological injuries they inflict on each other and suffer themselves, take a toll and culminate in sorrow.
