York Theatre Royal and Miss Trout proudly present

‘ The Blinking Eye Girl ‘ performed by the fabulous Youth Theatre 5-8’s group.

Meet Lila , The Blinking Eye Girl, who each time she blinks grows another eye lash! Desperate to get rid of her fluttering lashes she sets off to find the one person who can help her - Murphy the man in the moon’s twin. Through enchanted forests and sparkling seas, Lila’s magic adventure leads her on a journey of self love and friendship. But is being like everyone else what she really wants?

“ What a blinking joy it’s been to explore the groups creativity and imaginations as we explored the tale of Lila and her peculiar plight. Our talented ensemble have worked so hard to bring the magic to life for you and in return we hope you all take a moment to celebrate each of their unique magic.

Enjoy!”
