Stupid F***ing Bird
- Previews are Feb. 27-Mar. 3 | Opening night Mar. 4
- By Aaron Posner
- Directed by Howard Shalwitz
JUMP TO: Dates, Run Time, Playbill, & More
In this irreverent, contemporary, and very funny remix of Chekhov’s The Seagull, award-winning playwright Aaron Posner wages a timeless battle between young and old, past and present, in search of the true meaning of it all: an aspiring young director rampages against the art created by his mother’s generation; a nubile young actress wrestles with an aging Hollywood star for the affections of a renowned novelist; and everyone discovers just how disappointing growing up can be. Winner of the Helen Hayes Awards for Outstanding Resident Play and Outstanding New Play or Musical.
