The Birds

Huntington University's Merillat Centre for the Arts, 2303 College Avenue, Huntington, IN 46750

Based on Daphne du Maurier’s enthralling 1952 short story, this suspenseful and eerie contemporary play is written by one of the world’s most praised Irish dramatists. Alfred Hitchcock also based his classic movie upon the same short story. After birds inexplicably begin attacking humans throwing society into apocalyptic peril, three strangers find themselves trapped in a tiny cabin on the edge of a lake. As they fight for survival, they soon discover that the threat the humans pose against one another is becoming more dangerous than the deadly flock of birds outside.

Advisory: This play contains adult themes and some intense/scary moments. It is not recommended for children ages 12 and below.
