Adapted from a short story by Tennessee Williams
Directed by Kari Margolis

A pent-up inventory clerk discovers a door to the roof of the tall building where he carries out his tedious work. Secretly a poet, he sneaks daily to the roof to watch the Mississippi River roll freely to the sea, inviting him to dream of escape.

The set-up is the same as in Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie: a clerk, a secret poet, up on the roof, dreams of escape.  In Williams’ famous play, the secret poet escapes by joining the merchant marines. In Flight, adapted from Williams’ story, “Episodes in the Life of a Clerk,” the secret poet finds freedom by taking a long-awaited leap of faith.

Running time: 70 minutes
