Bird, at Manchester Royal Exchange from June 8 to 25, is the world première of a poetic new play by Welsh playwright Katherine Chandler.
A co-production between the Exchange and the Sherman Theatre, it brings together a cast of Welsh and Manchester performers.
It is a story about growing up outside a family but inside the fiercest of friendships. On the cusp of adulthood and leaving the care home they’ve always known, Ava and Tash test their freedoms and practise living in the world. And both girls live dangerously with the men who surround them.
Ava is played by Georgia Henshaw, who has appeared regularly on TV. The cast is completed by Connor Allen, Siwan Morris, Guy Rhys and Rosie Sheehy.
