Share Description
“The Chickens Have Come Home to Roost” is a drama told through poetry and puppetry following the inner life of a woman, Angie. A chicken puppet, Birdie, personifies this inner life. After a sexual encounter with a man, one where the participants' actions are questionable and difficult to judge, the relationship between animal and human quickly morphs when Birdie gains the ability to speak. Together, Angie and Birdie are forced to look at the encounter and journey into Angie's past to discover how they can exist in the present. This psychological drama begs the question: what does consent look like? “I May Destroy You” meets “Hand to God” meets “How I Learned to Drive.”
