Overview
It's four in the morning and Leah is waiting
for her boyfriend to call. Over the course of a single night she tells
us what it's like to be fourteen, fearless and full of love. But
everything isn't what it seems, and as the sun comes up, Leah begins to
unpick the true nature of her relationship. A cutting-edge monologue
that throws light on the experience of a teenager in contemporary
Britain, Bird was first presented by Root Theatre and Echo, on a tour of
the UK, in 2014. This edition also features two other bold and
distinctive monologues for young female actors - Gypsy Girl and Where
I'm From - marking Laura Lomas as one of the country's most exciting
young playwrights.
