The audience is transported back two decades and across continents, to Beirut at the turn of the century. Gibran meets Selma and their connection is instant, and their love affair is fated. However, it isn’t long before the pair face obstacles that shake the fragile foundation of their recently kindled relationship. Will their love win out or will their dream of a life together be torn apart? The musical is performed in-the-round, taking us on an unmissable musical voyage, exploring issues of gender equality, immigration, the freedom to love who we love, and what ‘home’ really means to us. The themes remain ever relevant today, over a century later. ### London *Broken Wings* tickets are available now!
