A play by Kari Margolis 
Based on the short story Episodes in the Life of a Clerk by Tennessee Williams

Performed by Jarod Hanson 

There is a commotion on Washington Avenue: someone has fallen from the roof of the Continental Shoe Company.

Set in Depression-era St. Louis, Edward Schiller is a quiet inventory clerk and secret poet trapped inside a monotonous world that despises tenderness and creative expression. When his private poems are discovered, Schiller’s inner life is turned into soul-crushing evidence against him.

Adapted from Tennessee Williams’ semi-autobiographical short story Episodes in the Life of a Clerk, Flight is a highly visceral solo performance with original music and integrated multimedia, where humor and heartbreak share the same breath.

Presented by special arrangement with The University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee and International Literary Properties.
