The University of Nevada, Reno's Department of Theatre and Dance will unveil "w88 slot F**king Bird" this week, a play written by Aaron Posner. "w88 slot F**king Bird" is a compassionate, cutting and modern adaptation of Chekhov’s "The Seagull."

And everyone discovers just how disappointing love, art and growing up can be. The production asks deeply insightful questions like: How do we live with people we love? How can we cope with our lives? What makes art good for anything? And what obligation does a production owe to its prop gun?
“I don’t have a lot to say about 'w88 slot F**king Bird' by way of analysis. Like it’s source material, it is a play about the guts of life. It’s a beating, bleeding heart of a play,” says director Rosie Brownlow-Calkin. “It’s a play about love, art, passion and youth, and what happens after youth.”
Featuring a cast of seven talented University students, this "w88 slot F**king Bird" is realistic (the people in the play talk like real people), deeply emotional and darkly funny. It has an experimental streak, too: don’t be surprised if a character tosses a line or two your way and expects you to talk back.
