Arlington

By Enda Walsh

In a room, high in a tower block, Isla waits for her number to be called. Her only companion, on the other side of the wall, is an anonymous man who collects her stories. Today there is a new listener. He offers glimpses of the world beyond the tower, and what seems at first to be a small, if strange, conversation between two strangers turns out to be something much more terrifying and sublime. Arlington by Enda Walsh is a dark fable of surveillance, connection, and the power of imagination. A new production by Glasgow-based dance-theatre company, Shotput.
