Synopsis
“The Wings” is a charitable home for retired actresses, women who once lived at the very center of applause and public admiration, and who must now learn how to live together when the curtain has long since fallen. Coward’s signature wit is radical in its insistence that these women are not relics of a bygone era, but fully realized human beings who are sharp, opinionated, funny, difficult, generous, and full of life. They are voices shaped by experience, artistry, and survival that deserve to be heard. With poignant humor, Waiting in the Wings reminds us that if we are to live fully, we must continue to grow and recognize that a life well led is measured not by applause, but by connection.
