[A LOVE STORY] By Enda Walsh At Third Rail Opens In May
A young woman waits alone in a room for her number to be called. On the other side of the wall, a young man watches her. A choice must be made, one that will disrupt the course of their lives forever. The line between dreams and reality blurs in this multi-media exploration of what it means to wait...to hope...and to remember. In a dangerous, dystopian world, what if love is the most powerful act of resistance?
"It is about 'love, enduring an oppressive, collapsing world', says [Walsh]. In truth, no one can say what it's about until they've seen it. As with most of Walsh's plays, it's up to the audience to say for themselves." -Irish Independent
