Sort of Adapted from THE SEAGULL by Anton Chekov
Directed by Theodore Swetz
An aspiring playwright, a beautiful young actress, an aging Hollywood star and a famous author discover the messed up joys and thrilling heartbreaks of the struggle to create new art. In this hilarious reimagining of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull, Aaron Posner pits two tangled generations of star-crossed lovers against each other in the search for love and true meaning. With original songs, boundary-crossing innovation, and irreverent wit, STUPID F##KING BIRD gives the finger to one classic play.
