by Aaron Posner, sort of adapted from The Seagull by Anton Checkov

An aspiring young director rebels against the art created by his mother's generation. A young actress wrestles with an ageing Hollywood star for the affections of a famous writer. And everyone involved must learn how disappointing love, art and growing up can be.



In this cheeky, contemporary and humorous adaptation of Chekhov's "The Seagull", Aaron Posner stages a timeless battle between young and old, past and present, in which everyone involved is searching for the true meaning of the big picture.


The original songs bring the famously subtle inner thoughts of Chekhov's characters clearly to the surface.


STUPID FUCKING BIRD will sweep you away, seduce you and make you think about how art, love and revolution drive your own pursuit of happiness.
