Bird in the Hand

written and directed by Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas

  • August 29th 2012 – September 23rd 2012
  • Theater for the New City

NYT Critics Pick. Mr. Cortiñas’s subtropical bildungsroman is perceptive and original, no small feat for this ancient and angsty genre.
—The New York Times

A sad, funny comedy. Three actors playing flamingos flap around the stage in lovely flamboyance and four others act out tiny scenes about painful and memorable events … A delightful piece. The dialogue is fresh and the performances first-rate.
—The New Yorker

A smart, distinctive show … bubbles with wit and unforced emotions while still infused with imaginative theatricality.
—Backstage

A very entertaining evening.
