The Black Bird is written by Clive Myburgh and directed by Kerith Coulson. The play follows a young couple who retreat to a remote bird hide, only to find themselves trapped with an elderly birdwatcher convinced a terrifying creature is hunting them from above. As fear and suspicion take hold, reality begins to blur in this haunting exploration of the things we fear losing most.
