My Eyes Went Dark

"He commanded those pilots to dive. To ignore their screens and fly into each other. Whatever the reasons."



Stricken by the loss of his family in a plane crash, Nikolai Koslov resolves to see justice done. His lonely, unwavering quest takes him to the edge of reason, vengeance and the meaning of mutual forgiveness.



A taut, thrilling and contemporary tale, Matthew Wilkinson's new play brings to the stage the spare, emotional clout of a Greek tragedy.



My Eyes Went Dark premiered at the Finborough Theatre, London in August 2015 and was nominated for three Off West End Awards including Best Play. It transferred to the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh 2016 and 59E59 Theatres, New York 2017.
