The Show
Act 1
The Cagebirds
This one act play is set within a gilded bird cage. Inside are six birds, each not only trapped by the cage, but also a self-imposed prison. Self-obsessed and isolated there seems little hope for these cagebirds. Until one day, into the cage, comes a wild bird who knows freedom. She attempts to unite these captives in an effort to escape. However, this does not get the reaction she is expecting.
