Blind Tasting

Go up the stairs, past the hundreds of posters for other fringe performances and into a small dark room and take a peek into the life of Sophie, and “discovering truth hidden in each glass” of wine.

Part performance, part wine tasting, this witty, insightful performance was well crafted by Paul Gilchrist and delivered with confidence and a delightful balance of light and shade by Sylvia Keays. I think the script would make a great short story.  

Staging is simple, as with most Fringe performances, with basic lighting and a few sound cues, which allowed the spoken words to evoke clear mental images as Sophie describes events and incidents in her life.

This performance was a delight; intimate, funny, sad, and thoughtful.
