Details
Pecking their way through this two-act hilarious parody of Hitchcock's 'The Birds', twenty singers and dancers put a new twist on the meaning of "bird brain".
Act I - A whirlwind 60s inspired jaunt with Birds attacking a town on Bodega Bay in California is told much as the Hitch told it in 1963
Act 2 - A birds-eye view for the attacks retold from the birds themselves. Triggered by the outrage of two lovebirds kept in a cage, the birds organize to protest their abuse the only way they know how — dive-bombing, eye-pecking, and terrorizing.
The Birds was one of Hitchcock’s most effective films.
The question of why the birds attack is never answered in the original film ... until now!
Another unforgettable show with all the creativity and humor we crave.
Written by Ben Asaykwee, the creator of Cabaret Poe, ZirkusGrimm, and White City Murder.
