Revised and expanded 2021 edition Race To Be Seen was nominated as
the Scottish Evening News Critics Choice Best Play and Pick of the
Fringe by Radio Forth at the 1984 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Race
To Be Seen tells the story of how an award-winning play came to be
written about the amazing World Champion Blind Athlete Graham
Salmon MBE, who tragically died in 1999. It charts his parents
story when, as a baby, Graham had to have both eyes removed due to
an incurable eye cancer. It follows his schooldays and how he was
expelled for running a book as well as his trials in trying to
secure a job and finally, his incredible sporting success! Graham
went on to play golf for the international visually impaired team.
He hit the headlines again for hitting a "hole in one". His final
battle was against cancer. Graham surrendered first his leg and
then his life ... but never became downcast ... he wanted his
autobiography to be called "Wide Eyed And Legless"! Graham Salmon
is the most inspiring athlete I have met; I say this without a
moments hesitation even though I have enjoyed the rare privilege of
sharing the company of Muhammad Ali, Stanley Matthews, Gary Sobers,
Martina Navratilova, Nadia Comaneci, Arnold Palmer and countless
others in the course of my job. - Robert Philip Daily Telegraph. A
remarkable play ... a story of great courage and dedication; It is
also entertaining and good Theatre, with plenty of scope for
imaginative direction. - Amateur Stage Book Review (of the original
Race To Be Seen). Snappily written episodes ... a moving, eminently
performable show. Get this book if you are looking for something of
real substance. - H. Wright National Association of Drama Teachers
Broadsheet (of the original Race to Be Seen). Duration: 55 minutes
Cast: 6 (3m 3f with doubling). Can be performed with a cast of up
to around 30. (10m, 8f & 12 m or f)
