Townhall Players Presents "THE BIRDS"
Daphne du Mauriers short story, also the basis for Alfred Hitchcocks classic film, is boldly adapted by Conor McPhersona gripping, unsettling, and moving look at human relationships in the face of societal collapse. In an isolated house, strangers Nat and Diane take shelter from relentless masses of attacking birds. They find relative sanctuary but not comfort or peace; theres no electricity, little food, and a nearby neighbor may still be alive and watching them. Another refugee, the young and attractive Julia, arrives with some news of the outside world, but her presence also brings discord. Their survival becomes even more doubtful when paranoia takes hold of the makeshift fortressan internal threat to match that of the birds outside.
Deliciously chillingspring-loaded with tensionclaustrophobic, questioning, frightening; and with a twist. Irish Independent. Never has [McPherson] been more in controlhe keeps us on the edge of our seat. The Irish Times. [THE BIRDS] was a powerful piece of theatre and a reminder to me of just how important that story has becometruly frighteninga night in the theatre that should not be missed. Tippi Hedren, star of the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock film, The Birds.
