Preview: THE BIRD


Buddies in Bad Times Theatre is welcoming the return of Sonja Mills to their stage, almost fifteen years after the success of Dyke City, in the much talked about THE BIRD.

Show Description:
Kate, a marketing executive and Mia, her taxidermist spouse, host a cocktail party conceived by jealousy and mistrust. When strangers and family mix, hilarity and horror ensue. A contemporary lesbian drawing-room farce by acclaimed playwright Sonja Mills, The Bird is a frank examination of marriage (same-sex and the other kind), infidelity and the fall of capitalism.

I am seeing The Bird on Sunday afternoon and I am very excited. After the exceptional shows we saw all Fall at Buddies and after researching the show itself, I am really anticipating another hit here.
