About The Birds:
By Conor McPherson
Directed by Gabrielle Affleck
In an isolated house, strangers Nat and Diane take shelter from relentless masses of attacking birds. They find relative sanctuary but not comfort or peace; there’s no electricity, little food, and a nearby neighbor may still be alive and watching them. Another refugee, the young and attractive Julia, arrives with some news of the outside world, but her presence also brings discord. Their survival becomes even more doubtful when paranoia takes hold of the makeshift fortress—an internal threat to match that of the birds outside.
Presented at Masquerade Theatre Studios October 30-November 2, 2025.
*Please note that we have 1 "Pay What You Can" performances on Saturday, November 1st at 2pm. We believe that everyone should have access to great theatre!
