June 19 - July 5 WAITING IN THE WINGS During his early and middle years, the late 20's through the early 50's, after his first great success The Vortex, Coward devoted a considerable amount of his personal time supporting and raising funds for theatrical charities similar to the retirement home for actresses, "the Wings", of this play's title. It's impossible to know when Coward first had the idea of putting the people he encountered during his charitable activities in a play, but it is unquestionably this contact with theatrical charity organizations and the aging performers who lived the final years of their lives in relative comfort because of them, which gives Waiting in the Wings its strong sense of authenticity.
