Dreams of Flight
by Brian Richard Mori

THE STORY: Sitting alone in his squalid tenement room, Buster, blind and lonely, waits anxiously for his only friend, Butch, a boastful, jive-talking product of the streets, who stops by each week to share a bottle of cheap wine.

Steven Hart, in The Villager, writes: “The two are reminiscent of Didi and Gogo in GODOT except that they use their minute and waning capabilities to destroy themselves rather than being caught in a cycle of aimless repetition.”

This dark urban comedy leads to even darker tragedy, when Butch, bent on revenge, sets his sights on robbing a liquor store, with blind Buster serving as the lookout.

The results of this often times funny and moving rollercoaster ride sends the audience reeling into a sadness beyond belief.
