Title Birdland review
Creator Contributors
Abstract/Description In UK playwright Simon Stephens’s Birdland, international rock-and-roll stardom is presented as a kind of grotesque distortion. The play tantalises with its promise of a key-hole peek into the warped mind of a rock god, engages intermittently, but never finds its way to real poignancy. And this rather shabby-looking MTC production, directed by Leticia Cácares, doesn’t do much to focus the vision, although Mark Leonard Winter is brilliant as the self-destructive, drug-addled rock cliché.
