Although
most of us may remember the total Eclipse of the Sun in August 1999 and
as this is the subject matter of this show I thought it ironic that most
of the cast seem too young to remember it.
A
group of friends are taken by their parents down to Cornwall to watch
the Eclipse. Whilst the
adults are on the top of the cliffs the kids are down on the beach
exploring the caves and playing. During
a game of hide and seek Midnight, blinded at 10 by looking at the sun,
bumps literally into Lucy Lime. Although Lucy’s parents are on the
cliffs with the other watchers Lucy herself just doesn’t seem to fit
in.
We
join the action, as the children are being taken one by one and
questioned about Lucy's disappearance. We are transported back to the
events of the day and observe the developments. Glue Girl and Pritt
always out of it or spaced out seem to know something the others
don’t! Or do they?
An
interesting show well performed by this 16 strong very young cast.
