At the webpage of Oslo International Theatre the following, among other things, is written about Nightblind:
"Darja Stocker has been hailed as one of Switzerland's leading young, female playwrights after her breakthrough with Nightblind (Nachtblind). The play has been performed all across the German-speaking world and is also translated into the English.
The play is about the teenage girls Leyla whose boyfriend hits her. Her family background is not the best either, with a father cheating on her mother, a teenage brother seeking attention and a mother who finds that the family's façade is the most important thing. But when Leyla meets the hyperintelligent Moe, a boy who is totally different from all the other boys she has met - and the total opposite to her violent boyfriend - things begin to change. Nightblind tells a warm and sensitive story about the strength one can find in a friendship, and reminds us that it may very well end well.
[...]
In 2005 Darja Stocker (Switzerland) won a gold medal at Heidelberg Stückemarkt with Nightblind, and the production by Thalia Theater in Hamburg was invited to Mülheim Theatertage in 2007. The play has been printed in Theater Heute."
Nightblind by Oslo International Theatre was supported by the Swiss arts council, Pro Helvetia. The production was presented with a permit from the theatre publisher Colombine Teaterförlag on behalf of Darja Stocker.
