Helen Hayes and Barrymore Award-winning writer-director Aaron Posner (The Chosen) lands his latest world-premiere play at the always-innovative Woolly Mammoth Theatre to close out its 33rd season. Helmed by the company's artistic director Howard Shalwitz, this admittedly loose and frequently irreverent adaptation of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull follows a famous actress whose son, an aspiring theater director, wants make a name for himself on his own. But then, his muse, the lovely Nina, falls for his mother's lover, leading to all kinds of romantic and artistic disappointment. Posner turns the original play's famous subtext into scenes and songs, calling Stupid F***ing Bird "a rough-and-tumble meta-theatrical mash-up." Learn More

view more less of this reviewThe actors and the staging was excellent. Not as thrilled with the play itself.
star this review starred report as inappropriateI thoroughly enjoyed this but I am an admitted Simpsons fanatic and am especially fond of the episode the play centers around--Cape Feare. However, I am not sure exactly how much a non-Simpsons fan would get out of it. The acting was top notch. One complaint about the play is that I wanted to know "what the hell" happened exactly but that's my same complaint with "The Walking Dead." However, that did not deter my enjoyment of the show. Again, for Simpsons fanatics this is a must-see. Everyone else? Your life is already a failure so it's up to you...

star this review starred report as inappropriateFascinating idea, but much darker than I expected. Act 1 is a bit slow, but Acts 2 & 3 more than make up for that. Excellent performances.
