Forging Hope in ‘Flight of a Legless Bird’ by Ethan Luk ’24
A collection of boxes. A pair of sparkling red heels. “Flight of a Legless Bird,” written and directed by Ethan Luk ’24 with the help of retired Princeton English professor R.N. Sandberg ’70, opens where it ends. On one side of the stage, a group crowds around a collection of personal belongings of one of the play’s main characters, the late Hong Kong celebrity Leslie Chueng, cataloging them for display. Gloved and nearly clinical, they draw a sharp contrast to the opposite side where Robin, the play’s other central character, sits on the floor, sifting through a chaotic collection of unspecified items.
