Constance Cummings, one of the great ac-
tresses of the English-speaking stage, who
played the leading role in the world premiere of
Wings at the Yale Repertory Theater in March
1978, commented in an interview: "It is not a
conventional play. It has its own conventions ..
It s a play of great imagination that takes flight
beyond the prosaic everyday world. It has a
poetic quality: yet none of it is written in poetry.
Richard Eder, in The New York Times, called
Wings "an intensely moving vision, one of un-
canny perception; a voyage of illumination ..."
Wings takes us into the strange, terrifying, shat-
tered world of a woman who, we realize as the
play unfolds and the pieces of the beautifully
constructed mosaic begin to fall into place, has
suffered a stroke. For the woman, time, place,
language, speech, and thought have lost their
meaning, and as we plunge into her confused
mind we are engaged with her in trying to come
to terms with terror and to re-create order and
rediscover reality. The hospital, the doctors, the
nurses, and the other patients emerge and come
into focus as the woman struggles to reinvent
her self and recover her past. We share with her
the desperate need to comprehend, to find
words, to make sense out of her splintered
world.
Wings is an emotionally powerful experience. It
is a magnificent adventure into the mind and a
revelation of the strength and mystery of the
human spirit.
