World War II veteran Hank Dunfield is about to turn one hundred
years old. The staff at Ponderosa Pine Lodge have recruited Sarah,
a young nursing student, to keep Hank safe, comfortable, and in the
building while they plan a grand centenarian celebration. There's
one problem: Hank doesn't want to live that long.Seemingly
opposites, Hank and Sarah kindle a deep friendship. Sarah fears the
future with multiple sclerosis will be even more isolated,
difficult, and painful than the isolated, difficult, and painful
present. Hank, a tail gunner during the Second World War, opens his
heart to share the deep knowledge of fear, luck, and flying into
battle he learned over his. combat missions. Sarah and Hank find
strength in each other as they face their deepest fears. Based on
interviews with veterans in Alberta seniors' homes and the skilled
nurses who care for them, Flight Risk is the story of finding
exactly who you need when you least expect it. An empathetic
exploration of grief, friendship, and hope, this play asks what we
lose when we ignore the knowledge of our elderly, challenges the
way that we think about aging and death, and inspires a brighter,
more compassionate future.
