Ava must confront the mother she left behind. Tash will have to look for a new home. And both girls will go on living dangerously with the men who surround them.
Raw, delicate and bold, Katherine Chandler's play Bird is a story of growing up outside a family but inside the fiercest of friendships. It was the winner of a Judges' Award in the 2013 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting, and premiered at Sherman Cymru in 2016 before transferring to the Royal Exchange, Manchester.
REVIEWS:
"The writing has a blasted beauty... like its teenage protagonists, [it is] a small, fragile thing with a fiercely beating heart."
The Guardian
"Uncompromising in its fury… a play that refuses to look away."
The Stage
"A story that has to be told… [will] have you thinking hard and feeling deeply."
