Kenyon College Dance, Drama & Cinema Club (KCDDCC) presents "Stupid Fucking Bird" by Aaron Posner.
Content Warning: This production contains mature themes and language, including gun violence and discussion, and offstage depiction of suicide.
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 love, art, and growing up can be. In this irreverent, contemporary, and very funny remix of Chekhov’s "The Seagull," Aaron Posner stages a timeless battle between young and old, past and present, in search of the true meaning of it all. Original songs composed by James Sugg draw the famously subtextual inner thoughts of Chekhov’s characters explicitly to the surface. "Stupid Fucking Bird" will tickle, tantalize and incite you to consider how art, love and revolution fuel your own pursuit of happiness.
Tickets are available through the Bolton Theater Box Office, 740-427-5546, beginning at 1 p.m. on March 28, 2022, and at the door if not sold out.
