The King’s Head Theatre does an interview with Sean Mathias who talks about his play A Prayer for Wings. This was a play written by Sean 35 years ago and played first at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Inspired by his mother nursing his father as he was dying, this play has a very personal motivation for Sean.
Watch to see his excitement at bringing A Prayer For Wings back to the stage and how it’s stood the test of time.
