The Birds
BY CONOR MCPHERSON
“This play is a standout, a thriller in its own right with intriguing characters, intense dialogue, and its own suspenseful storyline…The Birds is a stark and compelling view of human desperation in the face of dire circumstances.” -Marina Kennedy, BroadwayWorld
When killer birds start attacking, three strangers seek shelter in an isolated house. But as paranoia creeps in, they realize the biggest threat might not be coming from outside.
Based on Daphne du Maurier’s story (the inspiration for Hitchcock’s famous film), The Birds brings a chilling and suspenseful look at human nature in the face of societal collapse. This chilling stage adaptation will be directed by Amphibian Stage’s Artistic Director, Jay Duffer (The Handless King, The Visit, Spaceman, and Marie Antoinette).
