A Bolt from the Blue 2015

A Bolt from the Blue was written by David Tristram and first performed in 2006. It is the extraordinary story of an ordinary electrical utilities engineer whose life revolves around the vital but humdrum business of maintaining our power distribution network. Following a bizarre incident in the course of his work, Edward slowly discovers that he appears to have undergone a dramatic and life changing experience which sets him apart from the rest of humanity. His condition, although unnoticed by his wife and ignored by his local doctor, creates mounting interest in specialist medical circles and attracts the admiration of a local lady scientist with a penchant for conducting bizarre longevity experiments on fruit flies. Inevitably, the world’s media get wind of the story and Edward’s strange predicament becomes ever more complex, stormy and explosive.
