AND NEITHER HAVE I WINGS TO FLY

April 23 - November 19, 1995 
written by Ann Noble
directed by Robin Stanton
​
​
Following the death of her mother, Miss Eveline Donnelly reluctantly abandons her dream of a university education, feeling it's her duty to stay with her father. Miss Kathleen Donnelly, however, readily jettisons her plans to marry the bookish Leo Doyle, embarking instead on a romance with a roguish summer-stock thespian. Complicating matters further is the introduction of Leo's brother Charlie, a drifter who finds himself inexplicably attracted to the sensible Eveline. And then there's the ghost of the late Mrs. Donnelly, who will not leave the family she loves until everything is in order.

Director Robin Stanton and a superlative cast of vocally agile and psychologically attentive actors ease us through the script's swiftly changing moods with nary a trace of whiplash, right up to the happy ending--for which we fervently hope, so much have these characters come to mean to us.  AND NEITHER HAVE I WINGS TO FLY represents a return to the well-made play. One need not be Irish to enjoy this auspicious premiere production, nor to appreciate the return to craftsmanship it represents."
