Winner of a Judges Award in the 2013 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, this is the World Premiere of BIRD a stunningly poetic new play by Welsh playwright Katherine Chandler. Directed by Sherman Cymru’s Artistic Director, Rachel O’Riordan, this is a story of unstoppable friendship.
“You know what Ava means? Bird. That’s what you are. You’re a little bird.”
Ava and Tash are up on a cliff. Looking out at the flocking birds. And at their future. On the cusp of adulthood and leaving the care home they’ve always known, the friends test their freedoms and practise living in the world. Ava confronts the mother she left behind. Tash looks for a home. And both girls live dangerously with the men who surround them.
Raw, delicate and bold. This is a story about growing up outside a family but inside the fiercest of friendships.
