Carousel Theatre presents Bird Brain February 12, 2011

Carousel Theatre presents BIRD BRAIN by Governor General Award-winning playwright Vern Thiessen. A magical adaptation of a German children’s book, Albert Wendt’s Vogelkopf , this delightful tale about being different will make your heart sing. 

Hat Street is a place controlled by rules and regulations - and for those living there, following these rules is just part of life. When a hard-working man happens upon baby birds in the forest, he becomes enchanted with their song and soon gives them shelter under his hat. This makes it difficult to abide with Hat Street's Golden Rule – to “Always remove your hat in the presence of others!” The fiendish Under Secretary (JOSUE LABOUCANE) goes by the book and will do anything to lock the foolish man away. When the Queen (NAOMI WRIGHT) comes along at the Festival of Fools and Bird Brain (GAELAN BEATTY) can't doff his hat, he faces a dilemma: will he follow the rules... or save his feathered friends?
