  • A stunning, gorgeous, tender, and heartfelt play that appeals to a wide spectrum of age (for both cast and audience!) Feels like a young adventure novel entwined with the wisdom of a sage adult. Hilarious, adorable (but not childish!), and packs a lasting punch. I give it 12 gazillion stars and highly recommend.

    Can't recommend this play enough-- it is aching for a production! Grandparents will guffaw while their grandkids squeal in delight at the actors playing an entire aviary of birds. Hearts will also burst with the tenderness embodied by this parrot-bird relationship. A true gem!
