Flare Path at Theatre 40 at The Reuben Cordova Theatre

"Flare Path" is set during World War II, at a small hotel mainly boarding Allied aviators and their spouses. It's near an airfield from which daring and dangerous raids are launched against the Axis foe. Among those staying there are British Flight Lieutenant Teddy Graham. His recent bride, American expatriate actress Patricia Warren is visiting. Several of the airmen, in fact, have their spouses in attendance. The hotel has a new, non-military guest, fading movie star Peter Kyle. Unbeknownst to Teddy, Peter and Patricia were lovers who had lived together for a year. Peter is on a raid of sorts of his own, as he intends to take Patricia, the great love of his life, back to America with him. But it's wartime. Although Peter was the great true passion of her life, can she bring herself to abandon her new, loving husband at a time when he needs her most?
