On the 27^th December 1936 in a penthouse suite high above the streets of New York a meeting took place between a young, beautiful and very much in demand actor, John Gielgud, and the playwright Edward Sheldon. It was to change both their lives forever.

Gielgud wrote ‘I had an extraordinary time this afternoon. Edward Sheldon has been stricken with some appalling petrifying paralysis for fourteen years and is blind too. All the well-known stage people go to see him, talk to him and act scenes from their plays and ask his advice...’

A play about love, longing and the unreliability of macaws.
