Engines and Instruments of Flight: A Fantasia in Three Acts by Calamity West

Directed by Jonathan Berry. Featuring: Mary Williamson as ELEANOR, Johnard Washington as GENE, Andrew Burden Swanson as CALVIN, Niko Kourtis as TONY, Julian Hester as WILLIAM, and Raphael Diaz as HENRY. Synopsis: Calamity West is conjuring a fantasia: It’s 1986 New York and Tony is a playwright who isn’t writing. As he and his closest collaborators search for meaning in an increasingly fractured America, figures from history begin appearing with agendas of their own. Engines and Instruments of Flight is a play about the magic of making theatre in a world that refuses to stand still.
