Broken Wings musical to stream online following London run
The musical adaptation of Kahlil Gibran’s Broken Wings is to stream online this festive period.
The show, by Nadim Naaman and Dana Al Fardan, made its fully staged premiere at London’s Charing Cross Theatre earlier this year.
A filmed performance of the show will be available to watch online via stream.theatre from 21 December 2022 through to 2 January 2023.
New York City, 1923. Through exquisite poetry and enchanting music, an ageing Gibran narrates our tale, transporting us back two decades and across continents, to turn-of-the-century Beirut. Gibran meets Selma; their connection is instant and their love affair, fated. However, their journey to happiness is soon thrown off course, as the pair face obstacles that shake the delicate foundation of their partnership. Will their love win out or will their dream of a life together be torn apart?
Performed in-the-round, Broken Wings takes us on an unmissable musical voyage, exploring issues of gender equality, immigration, the freedom to love who we love, and what ‘home’ really means to us. Over a century later, and the themes and debates raised in Gibran’s story, remain increasingly relevant today.
