Broken Wings

A new musical based on the writings of by Kahlil Gibran, following a concept album release.

New York City, 1923. An ageing Gibran narrates from his cold studio. Through poetry and music, he transports us back two decades and across continents, to turn-of-the-century Beirut. His 18-year-old self returns to The Middle East after five years of living in America, to complete his education and discover more of his heritage. He falls deeply in love with Selma Karamy, the daughter of family friend and hugely respected local businessman, Farris Karamy. However, Selma soon becomes betrothed to Mansour Bey Galib, nephew of the powerful Bishop Bulos Galib, who has his eye on the Karamy family fortune. Gibran and Selma fight to reconcile their love for one another, whilst navigating the rules, traditions and expectations that society lays on them.

Writer Kahlil Gibran, whose seminal work The Prophet was international bestseller, remains the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Laozi. What inspired him to write? And what moved him to such profound philosophy in his later life? The events in Broken Wings highlight key social issues of the time - the fight for gender equality, the freedom to love who we love, tradition versus modernity, wealth versus happiness, immigration and the importance of ‘home’ - yet these themes are increasingly relevant today, over a century later.

Broken Wings has Book Music & Lyrics by West End star Nadim Naaman (The Phantom of the Opera) and Music and Lyrics by Dana Al Fardan, one of The Middle East’s leading contemporary composers.

This semi-staged premiere production is directed by Bronagh Lagan, with orchestrations by Joe Davison and 9-piece orchestra. It is produced by Ali Matar.

Broken Wings runs for five performances only from 1 to 4 August 2018 at the West End’s Theatre Royal Haymarket, Haymarket, London SW1Y 4HT. Performances run Wednesday to Saturday at 7.30pm, with a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm. Tickets from £20. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE!!

'All I Longed To See' - For The Beirut Emergency Appeal

over 4 years ago

https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/brokenwingsbeirut On August 4, an explosion obliterated the port of Beirut, Lebanon. At least 181 people have been killed, over 6,000 people wounded, and 300,000 are now homeless. These numbers are likely to continue to rise. The devastation to the city and to the people cannot be understated. The eastern part of Beirut's port has been totally destroyed, and buildings across the city have been severely damaged. Hospitals have been heavily damaged, and they are overwhelmed with the number of people now needing medical help and essential items. The British Red Cross has established the BEIRUT EMERGENCY APPEAL, with all proceeds sent to The Lebanese Red Cross, responding to the crisis on the ground. On August 20, our London-based team joined forces with members of the Lebanese Philharmonic Orchestra in Beirut. We filmed a performance of 'All I Longed To See'. The song is a love letter to Beirut and Lebanon, and the show's opening number. Please watch our video and support our efforts to raise money for those most in need in Beirut. Donate here, to help those who need it the most, and to help rebuild Beirut: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/brokenwingsbeirut Thank you for your support x
