Blink is the tale of Jonah, Sophie, and a fox called Scruffilitis. It’s a love story. A dysfunctional, voyeuristic and darkly funny love story, but a love story all the same.

Written by Phil Porter, winner of a Bruntwood Playwriting Prize for The Cracks In My Skin (Manchester Royal Exchange) and the Arts Council’s Children Award for Smashed Eggs (Pentabus Theatre). Also available: Playing with the audience Learn how to shape and subvert audience expectations and hear more about Phil’s process from commission to co-production with nabokov.
