School of Drama is proud to present Enda Walsh's Arlington directed by Jane Skapek (MFA '22) as part of the New Visions Directors Festival.
Â
Synopsis:
In a dystopian future, alone in a tower, Isla dreams of a new world and waits for her number to be called. A Young Woman finally understands her own horrifying fate, while a Young Man faces a stark decision. Evocative of Orwell's 1984, Enda Walsh's play uses dance, video and poetry to take an elegiac look at the ways we resist isolation and entrapment.
Jane Skapek has been a New York City based artist for ten years. Selected directing credits include Hamlet (The New School), Salome (The New School), The Prisoners of Quai Dong (The Tank/Prism Stage Company), New York Mining Disaster (Hangar Theatre Lab Co.), Marat/Sade (Fordham University), The Laramie Project (Theatrical Outreach Program). Selected assistant director credits include Girls and Boys (Minetta Lane), The Lightning Thief (National Tour, Theatreworks USA), Constellations (Hangar Theatre) and Angels in America (Broadway, 2018). Jane is an Associate Member of SDC and a recipient of the Doug Hughes Directing Scholarship.
