DESCRIPTION OF PIECE

Piggy Wants to Fly is a whimsical and tender two-hander about the meeting of a man and a pigeon. This play delights in darkness and darkens delight to reveal the quiet, profound history between humans and those grayish, blueish, greenish birds that cover our city streets. What wonder is there in all we take for granted?
