TheatreXtra: The Drinking Bird
Drama Studio (W420)

The Drinking Bird is an absurdist comedy that follows Bird. Bird has no aspirations to do anything remotely productive, until they find themselves transported to their office, but everything is… off, the rooms, the people, the customers. Everyone is either rude, invasive, or way too open about their personal lives and Bird can’t grasp any of it and doesn’t want to, until a revelation that things need to change. Bird needs to change.
