Blink

This Saturday I had the pleasure of attending the opening night of Blink at the Kings Theatre in Kings cross. Blink is a delightful witty and wistfully quirky tale with a few bizarre imaginative spins thrown into the mix. The two naive and socially awkward characters played by Charlotte Hazzard and James Ragget, each delicately intertwine their parallel journeys until a surprising and melancholic twist brings them together;But I'm not wanting to give too much away here. I became instantly lost in the strange world of these two oddities, held together by the strength of the actors as they comfortably played off each other through several accent changes and smooth character transitions. Although, I felt the intreging story of Sophie disappearing, definitely could have gone further. This captivating  story was brought to you by the enigmatic mind of Phil Porter and directing and production team of Luke Rogers and Peter Gahan who magically whisk us into a warm and inviting space. With the use of a simple yet effective set played in the traverse that created a beautifully balanced light and soundscape. This endearing production had me enchanted from beginning to end. Blink will be running at the Kings Theatre until 4th March. http://www.kingsxtheatre.com/blink/
