Google Matchstick ProductionsAbout the show
A charming, intimate new musical from Matchstick Productions. When a power cut plunges Rowan's flat into darkness, a knock at the door brings Charlie into her life — a hurricane of inspiration in search of matches. Rowan is a straight-laced musical writer struggling to find inspiration; Charlie has no respect for the rules. The show asks whether love is truly blind and whether a connection formed in the dark can survive the light. Running 50 minutes at Space 1, suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
An intimate new musical built around a simple, clever premise — two people meeting in the dark. It is tender and playful, and asks a question that lingers: can what you feel in the dark hold up once the lights come back on?
