By Yvette Nolan
A co-production with Gwaandak Theatre
Directed by Jennifer Dawn Bishop
The Guild is thrilled to partner with Gwaandak Theatre to bring you Yvette Nolan's modern re-telling of Aristophanes’ classic comic fantasy ‘The Birds’.
Two men, frustrated by the modern world, arrive in the fabled land of the birds seeking freedom and a better way of life. Despite their best intentions the men are unable to resist remaking this utopian paradise in their own image, without regard for the inhabitants who already occupy the land. Set in a richly imagined, song and dance filled land of the birds.
Featuring: Tyra Ashauntie, Autumn Chandler, Jeff Hamilton, Frances Kitson, Alia Krueger, Greg Murdoch, Felix O’Laney, Austin Roe, Josh Schroeder, Emma Seward, Rachel Sherman, Kevin Spofford
