Blinded By The Light
WHEN a household celebrity is charged with a serious sexual assault, a group of press photographers gather outside his home, eager to get shots of him.
First on the spot is Ray (Reg Edwards), a staff snapper who still takes some pride in his work, unlike Gobbi (Tom Tunstall), a seething mass of prejudices who’d quite happily stab anyone in the back to get the most lucrative pic.
They’re soon joined by relative new boy Mitch (Adam Diggle), then by the more liberal – well, he is from the Guardian Media Group! - Ivan (Thomas Latham) and Anna (Emily Barlow), a radio reporter whose actual agenda is reporting on press intrusion.
Although these latter two characters are lumbered with some pretty leaden lines, the others are well-drawn, especially once their own dirty little secrets start to be exposed.
Blinded by The Light is on until Sunday, July 26 (no shows July 21/23).
