BIRDLAND
by SIMON STEPHENS
Everything can be quantified. All worth can be quantified. Artistic worth. Human worth. Material worth. Everything. Some food is simply better than other food. Isn’t it? Some clothes are better than other clothes. Aren’t they?
The last week of a massive international tour and rock star Paul is at the height of his fame. Everybody knows his name. Whatever he wants he can have. He can buy anything he desires. He can eat anything. Drink anything. Smoke anything. Go anywhere. As the inevitability of the end of the road looms closer and a return home becomes a reality, for Paul the music is starting to jar.
Welcome
It is my privilege to welcome you to our CCT Contemporary Productions.
These shows are performed by our MA as well as MFA acting students, directed by our directing students, and are the culminating creative project of the MA segment of our course.
Both shows, although contemporary, could be considered modern classics of international dramatic literature and are staged as well as enacted in wholly original, innovative, and personal fashion by our students.
