Alfred Hitchcock News

Kansas City Actors Theatre has announced the line-up for its 20th Anniversary season, which will feature one classic work receiving its first professional regional production, a revival of a contemporary classic, the regional premiere of a new adaptation of a classic thriller, and the regional premiere of an award-winning new play.

Based on the suspenseful short story by Daphne du Maurier (and the basis for Alfred Hitchcock's movie of the same title), two strangers, Nat and Diane, take shelter in a small summer cabin from a relentless mass of attacking birds. When a young woman, Julia, appears unexpectantly with disturbing news of the outside world, the gravity of the strange and unprovoked global bird attacks sinks in. Doing their best to survive without power, little food, and a possible armed neighbor who may be alive and watching them, their survival becomes even more doubtful when boredom, stress, and paranoia take hold of their makeshift sanctuary. The Birds performances run November 11 - 26, 2023, at MadLab, 277 North 3rd Street, Columbus, OH, 43215 For more information or to purchase tickets, visit: https://newherring.org/
