Sometimes it is those cataclysmic moments, the ones that damage us, alter us, and drive us toward our deepest maturity.

 

Grace has an unusual gift. She can heal a fallen bird with her hands. But when a visitor comes to stay the night, all of that changes. A random act of cruelty alters her future forever. With the loss of her hands, Grace must regain her will to live and her love of life. Based on the folktale, The Handless Maiden, HANDLESS explores the ways in which we heal ourselves. When faced with a violent act, how do we reclaim some faith in our future?

"Ragged Wing has scored again with another original by Co-Founder Amy Sass… impressive ability to maintain the fantastic, sensitive atmosphere of such a tale, with touches of humor and creative anachronism… trees flying from the sky combine to evoke the daydream- like logic of intuition that many shows strive for without such a pleasing result."

- Berkeley Daily Planet

 

"A veritable odyssey: People move, time passes, space expands. Not only does Sass have to show an epic journey, she also has to fill the play with supernatural elements without relying on sight gags or pyrotechnics. Luckily, she's an extremely clever director. Sass' scenes are fast and dense — big things are revealed in little ways."
