³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

While at university, Meggie lost her sight in an acid attack.

15 years later, through grit and tenacity, she’s learned to cope with her "dark gift", making a success of her life as an audiobook director.

Now, an invitation to join her old college friends at a country cottage offers a chance to mend some broken bridges. But it is not long before the shadows of her past begin to re-emerge...

Matthew Graham’s taut psychological thriller can only be told in sound.

Jayne Lake is a chilling look at the tests of friendship and the altered perception caused by time and changing circumstance. Told from the perspective of a blind person, the play follows Meggie's terror and confusion as she strains to understand a series of shocking events and the silences in between.

Featuring a debut performance from comedian Georgie Morrell, who lost her own sight in her early 20s.
