There’s some capital-A acting on display in Signature Theatre’s world-premiere of Annalisa Dias’ 4,380 Nights (★★½). Between interrogation sessions with U.S. military and intelligence, and friendlier conferences with Bud, Malik makes a plea for better treatment and conditions. To its detriment, 4,380 Nights digresses frequently from that valid question and Malik’s compelling story, to interweave the turbulent history of the European conquest of North Africa. As desperately as Malik wants to get out of Gitmo, 4,380 Nights is at its best when it stays there. 4,380 Nights runs to February 18 at Signature Theatre, 4200 Campbell Avenue, Arlington.
