About The Birds
One family sounds the warning, but what can you do when denial is as easy as keeping your head down?
Award-winning actor Paula Arundell (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) sends your pulse sky-rocketing in this adrenaline-shot adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s classic gothic horror that Hitchcock immortalised in film.
Enter a nightmarish soundscape of flying feathers, murderous swoops and thrilling carnage directed by Matthew Lutton (responsible for making you scream during Picnic at Hanging Rock).
As you dodge and duck out of reach, just remember: the big-wigs in the city won’t save you.
Please note: The Birds is experienced through headphones and heavily incorporates stunning sound design. Whilst many people with minor hearing impairments will find the headphone system adequate to hear the show, we also have oversized headphones for those wearing hearing external aids, can provide personal induction loops and have sockets for patrons with direct inputs.
