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.
