"ARLINGTON"

 

Epic Play by Garry Michael White, Playwright and Palm d’Or (Cannes) winning screenwriter of “Scarecrow” (Al Pacino and Gene Hackman)

"ARLINGTON" tells the story of America’s loss of innocence, as it explores the palpable evidence of the United State’s constant, insatiable thirst for war. "ARLINGTON" shines on the struggle to maintain our humanity, and our declining virtue. The play is told against 5 separate entities: World War I, The Second World War, the Korean War, the conflict in Viet Nam, and finally, the war in the souls of Americans as a result of 9/11. In this play, no battlefield blood is spilled; no foreign soil is touched. In the end, "ARLINGTON" is a moving, occasionally humorous play about the reaches of war, and the inevitable ways in which we conquer ourselves.
