Stupid Fucking Bird

Sort of Adapted from Chekhov’s ‘The Seagull’

“It’s a lot funnier [than The Seagull], has a happier outcome and evokes a distinctly Chekhovian empathy.”

– San Francisco Chronicle

“If Chekhov could have seen this smart San Francisco Playhouse production, he’d surely have loved it.”

– The San Francisco Examiner

“‘Stupid (expletive) Bird’ is a (expletive) blast”

– San Jose Mercury News

More Reviews

It’s “The Seagull” on steroids: Con hates his mother. And Nina, the girl he adores, lusts after his mother’s lover. Mix equal parts ambition, sex, and alcohol, and what you get is a recipe for madness. Read the Press Release.

CONTENT ADVISORY

Stupid Fucking Bird, as you may have guessed, is recommended for mature fucking audiences.

San Francisco Playhouse’s production of Stupid Fucking Bird is made possible by Producers Bill & Marsha Adler, Brittny Bottorff, and Associate Producers Loni & Bob Dantzler, Bill Gregory, Betty Hoener and Harry & Kay Rabin.
