An electrifying drama about what happens to personal identity in an age of ubiquitous technology and social media. John is a twenty-seven-year-old teacher who probably wasnt 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 unfettered profiles; the life Mark really wants is only a click away but what happens when that life already belongs to John? By Friday; the shit really is going to hit the fan. Two interlinking monologues; WINK examines two lives veering dangerously close to collision; asking us what separates the man from the boy. WINK; Phoebe Eclair-Powells debut play; was first produced by Tara Finney Productions and Theatre503; and premiered at Theatre503; London; in March 2015.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Nice popular science bookBy David MantheyAs a popular science book about wind engineering; this books is excellent. As a biography of Alan Davenport; I think it falls somewhat short.Overall; I liked it quite a bit -- I liked that the author didnt explain every term (though there is a glossary in the back); so that those who know what things mean already arent stuck reading about the basics of engineering. I felt the figures matched fairly well the level of the text -- hints of much greater complexity with many simple presentations. You wont learn (much) engineering from the text; but you at least can see how it is done and what factors are considered.As a biography; we get a decent introduction to Alan Davenport; but his adult life is all about his professional technical successes. I have no idea how he felt about his family (other than taking them to view bridges); how his relationship with his wife was; or if he ever retired before passing away. What is presented is fine. I guess my complaint is that I felt the introductory chapter made me expect more of a biography than the book had.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ExcellentBy David BendertThis book is a perfect mix of technical information and story. It is appropriate for an engineer or lay person.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Disappointed after reading good reviewBy D. BarryI read a review in New Scientist that prompted me to get this book. Expected a more informative explanation of the effects of wind on structures and the design issues related to them. Gave up 2/3 way through. Diagrams are poorly presented with; for me at least; insufficient explanation to make them informative. As a mix of biography and technical information I found it failed on both counts.
