I read this play in high school as an assignment for a Stagecraft class. I had no idea what it was about, all I knew was that it was a play and I had to pick something and read it in a day. Little did I know that it would contain lessons that I would take with me and be writing about thirty-five years later.
The Wingless Victory is the name of a ship that a prodigal son has purchased/obtained after years of being away from home. He is returning now to his small New England hometown because he hopes that his riches will redeem him in the eyes of his family and friends. Problems surface when his family realizes he has married a woman of a different race. Will they rejoice in the return of their long lost family member, or will their deep, long-hidden racism rear its ugly head and prevent a happy homecoming?
This play explores the masks and tragic impact of racism that are as prevalent and applicable today as when The Wingless Victory was written. If you are luck enough to find a copy, read this play. It will move you. I felt the pangs of heartache and love in this timeless tragedy.
