The NHB Playgroup from Nick Hern Books brings you one free play to read and discuss each week, followed by a Q&A with the writer. In this episode of The NHB Playgroup Q&A Podcast, we spoke to Enda Walsh about his beautiful, tender and dazzlingly theatrical drama Arlington. Enda's play premiered at Galway International Arts Festival in 2016, in a co-production between the festival and Landmark Productions, directed by Enda himself. It later transferred to St. Ann's Warehouse in New York. See more about The NHB Playgroup and find out how to get involved here: www.nickhernbooks.co.uk/playgroup Host: Siân Mayhall-Purvis Producer: Jon Barton Executive Producer: Matt Applewhite
