Waiting in the Wings

Magenta Theater
606 Main St. Vancouver

Noel Coward's tribute to theater is set in a retirement home -- "The Wings" -- for retired actresses who were all big stars in their day. Aging rather ungracefully, these ladies are known for their squabbles, bitter jealousies and overinflated memories. But nothing can compare to the fallout after Lotta Bainbridge -- who married fellow inmate May Davenport's ex-husband years ago -- arrives one June afternoon. Watch the sparks fly as the bitter feud unfolds on the stage of Vancouver's Magenta Theater.
