Blink- Theatre Royal, The Drum


Blink was a moving performance from beginning to end. I am not ashamed to say that it moved me to tears on more than one occasion.


Expertly written and superbly acted, the audience really came to know the main characters intimately. The simple stage setting was dramatic and lighting was used to great effect. In particular I was a fan of the use of microphones when acting out subbordinate parts. This worked very well, and allowed some humour to come through when the actors took a moment to share a look with the audience.



I would highly recommend this show. How two actors can keep an audience so mesmerised throughout a performance is beyond me. 

Congratulations to all involved in the telling of this tragic, grief-stricken love story. I would highly recommend this show for anyone who has a heart!
