Blind Spot
A couple in love, a positive pregnancy test and a long-avoided conversation.
An intimate new play exploring love, expectation and the hidden assumptions we hold onto in relationships.
Told through a non-linear structure moving between memories and the present, the story follows Sky and Noah as an unexpected pregnancy forces them to confront a conversation they've spent years avoiding. As past and present unfold, the expectations they place on themselves, each other and their future begin to unravel, revealing how two people can experience the same relationship through entirely different lenses.
The play invites audiences to examine their own assumptions alongside its characters. It explores the limits of empathy, the complexity of communication and the challenge of seeing beyond our own perspective.
Honest, intimate and thought-provoking, this two-hander blends humour with heartbreak to explore the moments that define us, the conversations we avoid and the words we leave unsaid. Audiences can expect a raw, emotionally resonant story that lingers long after the final scene, inviting reflection on love, choice and what it really means to be attuned to another person.
