Melbourne Theatre Company presents
Birdland

6 Jun 2015 to 27 Jun 2015

A sexy and revealing exploration of fame, celebrity and stardom in the 21st Century from Simon Stephens, the Olivier Award-winner author of West End hit The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

With a week left on his sold-out international tour, rock star Paul is more famous than ever. Everybody looks when he walks into a room. They all know his name. They know he can have whatever he wants. He can screw anybody he wants. Buy anything. Eat anything. Drink anything. Smoke anything. Go anywhere.

But the pressure is starting to get to him, and with the inevitable return home looming, Paul is set to implode at any moment.

Under the direction of MTC’s Associate Director Leticia Cáceres, this thrilling contemporary satire features a stellar cast including Mark Leonard Winter (Balibo), Anna Samson (The Sublime) and Peta Sergeant (Satisfaction).
