Blink by Phil Porter

CoHo Theater - 2257 NW Raleigh St, Portland, OR 97210

After each loses a parent, Sophie and Jonah struggle in parallel lives of isolation and loneliness, unable to find a foothold in the unfamiliar blur of London life. With both adrift and sinking fast, Sophie opens the door to an unconventional connection, and Jonah gladly walks through. Their worlds expand and contract – boundaries drawn, erased, and reconfigured. 
Blink offers a tender, quirky, painfully awkward, sweet, and often-times hilarious look at the fundamental human need to be seen – and the unexpected people who show up for us when we need it most.
