Stupid Fucking Bird
From Wilbury Group’s website:
ABOUT STUPID FUCKING BIRD
In this irreverent remix of Chekhov's The Seagull, an aspiring young director rails against art created by his mother's generation, a nubile young actress wrestles with an aging Hollywood star for the affections of a renowned novelist, and everyone discovers just how disappointing life, art, and growing up can be. Chekhov's characters still ruminate on love, revolution and the pursuit of happiness, but this time with a lot more snark as the subtext bubbles to the surface. With music, meta-theatricality, and mad humor, playwright Aaron Posner beats The Seagull to a bloody pulp.
"Wilbury Theatre once again proves to be Rhode Island’s most cutting edge theatre with its latest production of Aaron Posner’s Stupid *** Bird...Director Mark Peckham has assembled a great ensemble cast of seven who captivate the audience with acting that could be labeled as absurdist and way out of the box." -Cranston Herald/Warwick Beacon
