Review: "Wings of Desire"

One of the landmark films of the 1980s is now on stage in Cambridge. Set in a divided Berlin, "Wings of Desire" tells the story of an angel who falls in love with a trapeze artist, and decides he'd rather be human than immortal.

The American Repertory Theatre has worked with a Dutch company to produce a stage version of the story and critic at large Ed Siegel looks at how the adaptation compares with the original.
