The Arrival

The Arrival a production from Solar Bear, inspired by the award-winning graphic novel by Shaun Tan, adapted for the stage by Jonathan Lloyd.
A man starts life in a bewildering new city. He doesn’t speak the language; he can’t read the maps or signs. He is helped along the way by sympathetic strangers, each with their own story: stories of survival and hope. The play embraces visual and physical storytelling, music and puppetry, with some scenes in British Sign Language (BSL) and English.

★★★★ The Scotsman  '....Niroshini Thambar's exquisite, deceptively simple  score'
