Stupid F###ing Bird is a meta-theatrical exploration of the nature of love and emotional presence, using Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull as an inspiration, canvas, and punchline. The play follows seven flawed and unhappy people as they grapple with their self-worth and existential sense of purpose. Wickedly funny, Stupid F###ing Bird is a blunt and unadorned conversation about the intricate joys and frustrations of feeling. It peels back the personal safeguards we’ve constructed to protect our insecurities without remorse, in a visceral confluence with one of theatre’s greatest storytellers.
