F BOMB: A send-up of "The Seagull" by Chekhof, "Stupid Fucking Bird" comes to City Lights Theater.

A riff on one of Chekhov’s most critically acclaimed plays, Stupid Fucking Bird keeps things unconventional. The fourth wall is shattered, love triangles are tested and every character discovers just how much of a drag growing up can be. The LA Weekly called it “the best Chekhov adaptation in two decades.” Director Kirsten Brandt, who has directed in theaters throughout the South Bay, will carry the show, which kicks off with a “pay what you can night” on Thursday and a preview on Friday night.
