THE ARISTOPHANIC LABORATORY

 

ARE YOU A BIRD OR A DODO?

Or, Aristophanes' Birds

 

directed by Jessica Brater

 

 

Augur buzzards. Fiscal shrikes. Skulkers, coots, pied kingfishers. Bird-human hybrids. Does the bird you are watching perch in prominent positions and on vantage points such as telegraph poles and wires? Or is it part of an army of hawks at war with the Olympian gods over eminent domain? Welcome to Cloudcuckooland, founded by Athenian ex-pats and ruled by bird brains. Not exactly what the Audobon Society had in mind.
