Wings by Arthur Kopit
Directed by Christian Lebano
Emily Stilson, seventy years old and a celebrated former aviatrix and stunt pilot has a stroke, loses speech, herself, her place in time. Memories flood in as she attempts to relearn the basic functions of everyday life. Aided by a dedicated young therapist, Emily’s flights of memory and emotion create an evocative portrait of the ability of the human spirit to renew and survive. An actress' tour-de-force.
"Wings is a brilliant work; complex at first glance yet utterly lucid; it mounts and soars … like the airplane that serves as its distant motif." - New York Times
