At First Sight

by Barney Norris

At First Sight presents two young people who relive a New Year they spent together in Salzburg, their memories looping back through one another as they try to share a past they can never return to. Jack plays piano in the hotel bar; Holly is there with her parents for the skiing. A beautiful and elegiac look at the distance between people and their histories, At First Sight is the first play by Barney Norris, and won the Drama Association of Wales's One Act Play Competition 2010.
