Anna (aka Kirkie, who regular fans will remember as Sue in Abigail's Party Mk II) and I explore a bit of emotional colour in our relationship, reasonably successfully too. It's complicated, because our appearances in the historical timeline of the play are filtered through the black and white of Alan's childhood memories, yet there probably has to be some suggestion of their relationship before the blinding.
