And now we have a chance to catch If
We Were Birds at the Centaur Theatre. Written by Erin Shields
and directed by Micheline Chevrier, the play is based on Book 6 of Ovids
Metamorphoses. The classic tale has been adapted to the modern world
via a chorus of women who have each survived a major 20th century
conflict, drawn from testimonials from in Nanking, Berlin, Bangladesh,
Bosnia-Herzegovina and Rwanda.
Looking for entertaining, moving and thought-provoking way to spend a
night out with the girls? This is it. Christine Laroche
