Our third play of the 2025/26 Season
| Written by Noël Coward | Directed by Jon Scheer |
‘The Wings’ is a charity home for retired actresses in straitened circumstances who have been stars in their day. Here these aged ladies grow older ungracefully amidst squabbles, jealousies and grandiose memories. On a June afternoon a once great actress arrives, sparking off a feud involving the entire home. It is only resolved when one deranged lady sets fire to her room.
