“Nonetheless, The Birds offers sights and sounds you won’t catch anywhere else in this city... It isn’t pretty, exactly, but it’s harsh and hypnotic, primal and ethereal at the same time. It is the music of earthly existence, with all its mysterious, tantalizing promises, just waiting to be fulfilled — and thwarted.”
Ben Brantley, New York Times

“It’s surprising and messy and bright and wild and just makes you want to party. And its audacious, celebratory silliness, its sheer irreverent vitality, actually feels more revolutionary, more slyly political and politically effective than 99 percent of the productions you’ve seen that have puffed up their chests and flailed their fists and hammered on seriously about Serious Things.”
Sara Holdren, Vulture
