Funny, heartfelt, pointed, PECKING ORDER (FEATHERS FLY) is an insightful comment on American environmentalism, the press, the power of celebrities. What makes it most poignant is that it is based on actual events. I loved directing (a reading of) this gem!

Who gets to determine the pecking order in our society? This story is based on the headline-making uproar about Lola and Pale Male, the redtail hawks who built a 300-pound nest on a swanky Fifth Avenue apartment building in New York City. The play pits two doormen at the building against the powers-that-be. A songbird transforms into a young woman and a woman transitions from pain to a long-anticipated trip to New Jersey with the help of the hawks in this tale of haves and have-nots.

Your play was a tremendous success! I am always so impressed at how much lightness and buoyancy you can write into dramatic subject matter.
