Blink by Ben Townsley

Blink is a radio play, or a guided meditation gone wrong. You’ll be taken on a journey through the world in-between your ears… Beach Town! Voice, the Mayor of Beach Town, is about to take you on a tour to meet all your neighbours in this world- from the local Miner, to the Mermaid that lives at the bottom of the sea. There’s an abundant amount of whimsical and thoughtful stories to hear...so plug in your headphones, close your eyes and Welcome to Beach Town, buddy!

Blink is written by Ben Townsley and the world premiere was Produced by One Trunk Theatre (I Dream of Diesel, Red Earth) and Walk&Talk Theatre Company (The Ballad of Johnny Boy, The Headliners) October 3rd and 4th, 2020 in the midst of a global pandemic!
