\nAbout Stupid F**king Bird:
\nDev loves Mash who loves Con who loves Nina who loves Trig who is going out with Emma\, Con&rsquo\;s mother. Complicating this chain of unrequited passion is the constant clash between idealistic aspiration and material reality. For Con\, a young playwright with a disdain for the status quo and a burning desire to create &ldquo\;new forms&rdquo\; the lofty ideas in his head always deflate and fall flat in execution leaving him in a perpetual state of existential crisis.

&ldquo\;It doesn&rsquo\;t matter how big a fan of Chekhov&rsquo\;s plays you are &mdash\; \;Stupid F**king Bird \;has something for everyone (including big heaping doses of depression\, anxiety\, narcissism\, futility\, and raucous laughter)&rdquo\;&ndash\; George Heymont\, \;My Cultural Landscape

\n\n

&ldquo\;It&rsquo\;s Posner&rsquo\;s combination of extreme silliness and searing insight that makes \;Stupid F**king Bird \;so engrossing.&rdquo\;&mdash\; Tim Dunleavy\, DC METRO

\n\n


\nOriginal songs composed by James Sugg draw the famously subtextual inner thoughts of Chekhov&rsquo\;s characters explicitly to the surface. Stupid F**king Bird will tickle\, tantalize\, and incite you to consider how art\, love\, and revolution fuel your own pursuit of happiness.
