Peter White talks to former soldier Craig Lundberg about the way he coped with his sudden sight loss, after being shot whilst serving in Iraq. Craig says he was determined to prove himself still able to partake in physical pursuits, including climbing mountains and doing charity cycle rides. He attributed the suport of his family and girlfriend to his rehabilitation but says he was also very determined to find his own way of coping with life without sight. Tony Shearman meets the blind and visually-impaired cast members of 'Sheer', the latest production from Extant. The show is a combination of comedy burlesque and horror and is written and directed by Maria Oshodi.
