Description
UMBC Theatre presents Stupid F*cking Bird by Aaron Posner, sort of adapted from The Seagull by Anton Chekhov, with songs by Aaron Posner and James Sugg, directed by Gerrad Alex Taylor, from October 31 through November 10.
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, art and life. Stupid F*cking Bird will tickle, tantalize, and incite you to consider how art, love, and revolution fuel your own pursuit of happiness.
