THE BIRDS
Play by Conor McPerson
From a Story by Daphne du Maurier
PERFORMANCES: 10/02 (Fri) - 10/18 (Sun)
Conor McPherson’s stage adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s short story, which was also the basis for Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film, is a gripping, unsettling and moving look at human relationships in the face of societal collapse.
SUMMARY
In an isolated house, strangers Nat and Diane take shelter from relentless masses of attacking birds. They find relative sanctuary but not comfort or peace – there’s no electricity and little food, and a nearby neighbor may still be alive and watching them. Another refugee, the young and attractive Julia, arrives with some news of the outside world, but her presence also brings discord. Their survival becomes even more doubtful when paranoia takes hold of the makeshift fortress – an internal threat to match that of the birds outside.
DIRECTOR: Nikki Baker
STAGE MANAGER: TBD
PRODUCER: Marley Warren
