Stupid Fucking Bird

Recommended by

  • Charlotte Snow: Stupid Fucking Bird

    "Stupid Fucking Bird" is an absolute treat for Chekhov lovers and newbies alike. Posner creates a highly theatrical world that is rooted in truth and cries out for hope. This is a truly unique piece that sticks in the heart and mind and never lets go. With a riotous and irreverent sense of humor, Posner simultaneously uplifts and dismantles Chekhov and his work. This play inspires me daily and I truly can not recommend this play enough or more highly.

    Caught this in New York; a must for anyone who loves playing with the classics, of course, with a strain of metatheatre I hadn't known about. A sly and literate meditation on life, love, art and what it all means.
