Broken Wings, which was first seen in London earlier this year, will be streamed at scheduled times on Stream.Theatre from 21 December 2022 to 2 January 2023.

The story, based on Kahlil Gibran’s Broken Wings, is adapted for the stage by Nadim Naaman and Dana Al Fardan. It begins in New York in 1923, where an ageing Gibran looks back on his life in Beirut and a fated love affair there.
