Final casting has been announced for the adaptation of Kahlil Gibran’s Broken Wings - The Musical by Nadim Naaman and Dana Al Fardan, which runs at the Charing Cross Theatre from 21 January-5 March 2022.

Completing the company are Johan Munir (Bishop Bulos) and Stephen Rahman-Hughes (Faris), who join the previously announced Yasmeen Audi (Layla Bawab/Ensemble), Haroun Al Jeddal (Mansour Bey Galib), Lucca Chadwick-Patel (Young Kahlil Gibran), Soophia Foroughi (Mother), Alex Kais (Ensemble), Nadim Naaman (Kahlil Gibran), Ayesha Patel (Dima Bawab) and Noah Sinigaglia (Selma Karamy); directed by Bronagh Lagan.

After multiple productions of the musical in concert form around the Middle East, this will be the first full staging of the musical.

New York City, 1923. Through exquisite poetry and enchanting music, an ageing Gibran narrates our tale, transporting us back two decades and across continents, to turn-of-the-century Beirut. Gibran meets Selma; their connection is instant and their love affair, fated. However, their journey to happiness is soon thrown off course, as the pair face obstacles that shake the delicate foundation of their partnership. Will their love win out or will their dream of a life together be torn apart?

Performed in-the-round, Broken Wings takes 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. Over a century later, and the themes and debates raised in Gibran’s story, remain increasingly relevant today.
