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.

News About The Black Bird at The Masque
Review: ONE-ACT PLAY FESTIVAL OF 2026 at The Masque Theatre
August 21, 2026 An enjoyable evening of contrasting theatre: The Black Bird was atmospheric, unsettling and thought-provoking, while Bottle Service delivered believable characters, warm humour and some genuinely funny moments. Strong performances overall, with a little more projection, pace and cue timing needed. The Q&A was an excellent addition, offering valuable insight into the creative process.
