Synopsis

I am wired, awake, my mind full, my eyes fuller.

I Google him because for some reason he's never not a bit in my brain, he's sort of what I think I would like to be, maybe, Mr Martin.

And he's there.' Two interlinking monologues.

John is a twenty-seven-year-old teacher 'who probably wasn't allowed to teach at an all-girls school' and Mark is his sixteen-year-old 'Olympic porn- watching' pupil.

A normal week in their normal lives school, eat, TV, sleep, repeat.

Except in an age of twisted technology and possible profiles, the life Mark really wants is only a click away... but what happens when that life already belongs to John?

By Friday, sh*t really is going to hit the fan.

WINK looks at two lives veering dangerously close to collision, asking us what separates the man from the boy.

WINK, Phoebe Eclair-Powell's debut play premiered at Theatre503, London, in 2015.
