what a wonderful review from central fm
It is always a pleasure to review shows, the sneak peek giving my thoughts before it is opened to the public, thank you for allowing me to do this - definitely a highlight on my calendar!

A play about the lives of an elderly couple, Wally & Vera who are both very much in love, Vera is blind & showing signs of dementia. Wally is dedicated to keeping Vera happy & their lives from the public eye.
Alice a district nurse soon works out something is amiss & Sergeant Patrick Warburton is faced with quite the dilemma in more ways than one.
Very thought-provoking you see not only a spin on a modern relationship but one that has lasted decades (Who is right & who is wrong)?
Director: Lindsay Bishop had every reason to have a tear in his eye after the show.
You have masterfully put together a brilliant piece of theatre!
The casting of the four characters was well thought out & the chemistry between them was evident.
Set design was well laid out - the flips of the wall revealing a new scene was very clever.
Lighting was equally sharp - the dark eerie scenes sent tingles up my spine!
Vera (played by Kate DโAth) had the task of becoming someone who is not only blind but has early signs of dementia - not an easy role but was executed perfectly.
Wally (played by Rob Mackintosh) - the chemistry between yourself & Vera made it all so real, and we as viewers felt every emotion so convincing that we were left questioning right & wrong, or, do we turn a Blind Eye. Pat (played by Andrew Laird) - the role fitted you like a glove.
Move over Sergeant Baker, Officer Warburton is ready for service!
The lovely Alice, played by Helen Griffen, slotted nicely into character - such a kind & caring soul but her private life is questionable.
โEmotional, Confronting & Unexpectedโ
Moments of comedy - especially in the first half - lighten up a very deep story.
The key is, when you have watched Blind Eye, donโt let the cat out of the bag as the ending is a jaw dropper.
