Chickens in the Yard

In a rural home outside of Pittsburgh, a gay couple feels its future tugged in opposing directions by career prospects and family tensions. But CHICKENS IN THE YARD, Paul Kruse's lyrical play that premiered at Quantum Theatre in 2015, is no conventional domestic drama. Echoing every emotional beat in this gently expansive work are the lives of the farms chickens, intense, inscrutable, and sneakily as human as their human counterparts. As the spotlight shifts between man and fowl, CHICKENS IN THE YARD scratches at the thin skin of contemporary relationships, with parallel creatures yearning for love and normalcy in a deeply abnormal world.
