​​
The Birds
​
by Conor McPherson
Adapted from the short story by
​Daphne du Maurier

Directed by Elizabeth Carlson-Guerin


Daphne du Maurier’s short story, also the basis for Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film, is boldly adapted by Conor McPherson—a gripping, unsettling, and moving look at human relationships in the face of societal collapse. 


“Deliciously chilling…spring-loaded with tension…claustrophobic, questioning, frightening; and with a twist.”
— Irish Independent.

“Never has [McPherson] been more in control…he keeps us on the edge of our seat.” — The Irish Times.

“[THE BIRDS] was a powerful piece of theatre and a reminder to me of just how important that story has become…truly frightening…a night in the theatre that should not be missed.” — Tippi Hedren, star of the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock film, 
The Birds.


​Featuring:
​Rich Bradford, Aetna Gallagher,
Tessa Kuhn and Ken Opdenaker.
