When Ophelia’s family decide to move to the seaside, she’s not impressed. She doesn’t like the beach, or the people, or the farawayness of the life she once knew. But she does like inventing. So, when a mysterious box full of gadgets, and a strange note that reads ‘You Make Me’ arrives in her bedroom one night… she invents a solution. Together Ophelia and her robot friend Olivetti will thwart bullies, build bridges and enact daring rescues on angry oceans, along the way learning that if one piece goes missing it can take a great effort, to find that lost something and fill up the gap. But sometimes the answer’s not to look where you left it – but to make something new.
Aaron Posner flips ‘The Seagull’ on its head in this new adaptation of Chekhov’s masterpiece!
A nubile young performer and an aging Hollywood actress battle for the attentions of a successful novelist, while an aspiring playwright rages against the art of his mother’s generation. Blending humor and drama, the adaptation stages an insightful battle between youth and experience, and the heart-wrenching realities of love, art, and the inevitability of aging. Here, disappointment is as natural as life itself. But remember, out of disillusionment, comes enlightenment. With original songs by James Sugg to give a glimpse into the inner thoughts of Chekhov’s characters, Stupid F**king Bird will spur audiences to consider how art, passion, and innovation inspire realization.
