THE BIRDS
Presented by Cincinnati Shakespeare Company

The classic Hitchcock thriller that’s been terrifying audiences for generations is winging its way toward Cincinnati for Halloween.  For reasons unknown, the birds have turned against man, attacking them maliciously and relentlessly. In a small seaside cabin, a group of strangers find themselves thrust together, each seeking sanctuary from the savage avian menace. But as the situation becomes increasingly dire and the tension between the survivors inexorably grows, it isn’t long before the atmosphere turns ugly, and they discover that the horror hovering outside is nothing compared to that which lurks within.
