The Blind Date Project

Overview

We've all experienced a date from hell and heard horror stories from friends that have made us squirm. On the opposite end of the spectrum, sparks can fly on the first date leading people to 'just know' they have found their special someone. Ride on Theatre have developed a unique show, The Blind Date Project to encapsulate the embarrassing moments and the endearing ones that can arise when two people first meet in the hope of finding love.

The performance begins with Anna (Bojana Novakovic) sitting alone in a karaoke bar, waiting for a date that she has only conversed with online. However, The Blind Date Project is much more than two skilled performers reciting lines. What follows is completely improvised as each night Anna is greeted by a different performer. Direction for their interaction is only received in the form of phone calls and text messages.

The Blind Date Project is an entertaining and raw production as the audience will be able to recall similar experiences of awkwardness and excitement. Anna could be anyone of us battling our butterflies as we wait for the unknown. The Blind Date Project received raving reviews in Melbourne and now it's your chance to catch this one of a kind show in Brisbane.
