A Poke In The Eye - Edinburgh Preview

A Poke in the Eye by Georgie Morrell.

One woman. One eye. And her (sort of) blind life.

Written and performed by Georgie Morrell.
Directed by Samuel Hopkins.

Do your other senses really get stronger? Is it wrong to crack onto your doctor? Will I get a new eye that shoots lasers?

Just some of the many questions the heroine answers whilst telling you how she went blind but now she can see, literally. Recounting stories of doctors, sexual fantasies, binge drinking, (sometime all at the same time) and family dramas.

Hear a unique account of what it is to face inevitable blindness with her very own brand of humour. Being disabled is her excuse to do exactly what she wants, say what she wants and live her one eyed life as she wants.

'Get a look in for tickets if you can. And keep your good eye open for sightings of this remarkable actor and semi-visionary writer. It’s way better than the thing with the sharp stick.' - Laura Thomas, London Pub Theatres 2015.
