In The Wings: Witness for the Prosecution

Webmaster 0 Comments ,

Witness for the Prosecution, It is 1950s London. A murder, brutal and bloodthirsty, has stained the plush carpets of a handsome London townhouse. The victim is the wealthy Emily French. All the evidence points to Leonard Vole, a young chancer to whom she left her vast fortune and who ruthlessly took her life. At least, this is the story that Emily’s dedicated housekeeper Janet Mackenzie stands by in court. Leonard, however, is adamant that his wife, Romaine, can prove his innocence.

In The Wings: Crimes of the Heart

Webmaster 0 Comments ,

Crimes of the Heart, The three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried at thirty and facing diminishing marital prospects; Meg, the middle sister, who quickly outgrew Hazlehurst, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast; while Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach. Their troubles, grave and yet, somehow, hilarious, are highlighted by their priggish cousin, Chick, and by the awkward young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her. In the end the play is the story of how its young characters escape the past to seize the future—but the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended.

In The Wings: She Kills Monsters

Webmaster 1 Comment , ,

She Kills Monsters, When Agnes Evans loses her entire family in a car accident, she is forced to confront an uncomfortable truth: she never really knew her geeky younger sister, Tilly. Though not a player herself, Agnes enlists the help of neighborhood uber-nerd, Chuck, to help her play the Dungeons and Dragons campaign that Tilly had written. Through the action of the game, Agnes discovers more about Tilly’s strength, wit, and the realities Tilly faced being a part of the LGBTQIA+ community than she would ever have imagined.

In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and 90s pop culture, acclaimed playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.
