After Rotten Apple, Near Miss was the second instalment in the Watching Windows trilogy, showed at The Unity.
Absolutely blistering sole performance by Sam Alton who got a thoroughly well deserved standing ovation. Brill!!
‘Near Miss’ is set in the cool, chaos of 00s Liverpool where the back drop of a frenzied fake optimism and fantasy cannot last…
Through a piercing vision into her persona within her classroom, the play explores the relentless pursuit of a life more ordinary and cascades the other lives that are hidden or protected within her.
It follows a young wife, mother, teacher running from her past, hiding in her present.
Desperate to maintain the facade of the normality of her life – she contradicts the chaos with her calm and pushes the darkness deep inside.
The hopes and dreams she once had are now a shimmer of light in the distant window of her past.
Will she allow herself to open that window of change? Or is it slammed shut forever?”
