Stupid F***ing Bird a “Sort Of” Adaptation of The Seagull
Boston Court Performing Arts Center-Mainstage (Pasadena, CA)
In this contemporary, irreverent adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull, the famous Russian writer’s characters still philosophize on love, art and the pursuit of happiness, but this time with music and mad humor. There’s a famous actress whose son, an aspiring theater director, is desperate to make a name for himself on his own. And his muse, the lovely Nina, who falls for his mother’s lover, a renowned novelist. Helen Hayes and Barrymore Award-winning playwright Aaron Posner (The Chosen) turns the original play’s famous subtext into scenes and songs, calling Stupid F***ing Bird “a rough-and-tumble meta-theatrical mash-up.”
