The Birds is for the birds

Last night David and I saw Conor McPherson's play The Birds at Barrington Stage's St. Germain Theatre,based on the short story of Daphne Du Maurier.

He should have left it alone.

Alfred Hitchcock made a scary movie based on the same work which, at least, had thousands of live birds attacking humans.

  Sasha Diamond

This one act play had sound effects along with films of birds at either side of the  stage. Not the same effect!

Kathleen McNenny
It also opened with a number of very brief scenes followed by blackouts which were more annoying than anything else. It purports to detail the last people left on earth after being birded to death.

Duh!


  Rocco Sisto

The cast included Stevie Ray Dallimore, Sasha Diamond, Kathleen McNenny, and Rocco Sisto. It was directed by Julianne Boyd.

Go see the movie!
