How to Fix a Broken WingHow to Fix a Broken Wing is a high-spirited and hopeful new play which explores how we might find beauty in imperfection and build resilience in the face of change.
A quiet woman lives on the edge of a once great city. It's stormy season, so the wind and rain is wild. But she knows it'll pass, and then she'll get to watch the birds migrating across the sky. Life goes on. But then. A young girl appears on her doorstep. A stranger. She just stands there. She doesn’t say anything. You can’t stay out there. You’ll get soaked. Come in. Both of them have secrets. Both of them have fears and suspicions about the other. But as the clouds rise up like waves and the lightning flashes like giant bird wings, the girl steps into the woman’s house and closes the door. She presents her with a mysterious gift prepared in secret and it triggers a series of events that leads to a startling and dramatic discovery.
