The Birds at The Huron Playhouse

Inspired by Daphne du Maurier’s enthralling short story, the basis for Alfred Hitchcock’s legendary film, this suspenseful adaptation by acclaimed Irish playwright Conor McPherson is a chilling psychological experience at The Huron Playhouse. In an isolated, abandoned house, strangers Nat and Diane take refuge from the unnerving masses of birds that attack everyone around them. They find relative sanctuary but not comfort or peace: there’s no electricity, little food, and the birds always return. Their uncertain survival becomes even more doubtful when paranoia creeps into their little refuge, adding an internal threat to match the external threat of the birds.
