"This performance was a delight; intimate, funny, sad, and thoughtful."  Stage Whispers

a punchy, whimsical tale executed exceptionally by actor Sylvia Keays…superbly written by Paul Gilchrist ....fun, thought-provoking and insightful." Theatre Junkies

“Sylvia Keays is a brilliant performer ….a moving, consistent and quality performance that is a joy to watch…. The script is playful, witty and poetic throughout ….. thoroughly entertaining” FringeReview

“The show has a very smooth tone, sitting happily between wistfully melancholic narrative and a stand-up routine…. actual wine tasting as part of the show proves a surprisingly effective way of involving us in the story.” Time Out

“a well crafted, tasty piece of small, intense theatre that ponders some deeply philosophical questions…. delivered engagingly by Sylvia Keays” The Advertiser

“a classy sensory experience…. a passionate and considered performance” Adelaide Theatre Guide

“another little gem from the strange narrative mind of Paul Gilchrist ….an engaging blend of slightly nutty and melancholic memoir, delivered in charming style by Sylvia Keays” The 5th Wall

"Raw, forthright and astutely funny.....Keays is a deeply compelling actor, seamlessly transitioning from laughter in one moment to tears in the next." Express Media

 
In wine there is Truth. And laughter.

She talks wine. She sells wine. But, now, she has every reason to drink it!
Join her hilarious razor-sharp discovery of the unexpected truth hidden in each glass.

Sylvia Keays portrays Sophie - witty, whimsical and utterly heartbroken. In Blind Tasting, she shares her sparkling coming of age story, as she navigates love, loss and the realisation that none of us really knows whats going to happen next.

Part wine tasting, part performance Blind Tasting is a sparkling coming of age story.

Blind Tasting will next be performed at the Ensemble Theatre on June 25.
