Press Quotes

“Len Jenkin’s dark, whirling comedy, PORT TWILIGHT, follows several storylines as they trail throughout the fantasy city of the title. All of the stories involve what might be called decoding messages and ‘alien contact.’ … thanks to Len Jenkin’s language, PORT TWILIGHT makes for a haunting, mind-altering experience.” —Jerome Weeks, Art & Seek

“… PORT TWILIGHT is a distinctly playful and yet somber, introspective piece about the foibles and heartbreak of humanity, and its quest for solutions … It is one of the most original shows I have ever seen. It combines insouciance, weariness, zeal, cynicism, comic relief, melancholy, the indecipherable into a poetically wistful and radiant experience.” —Christopher Soden, Pegasus News

“Len Jenkin’s zippy, atmospheric dialogue. There’s a beautiful lyrical quality to it.” —Jonathan Pacheco, Slant Magazine
