What is it?

You may not remember Mrs Smith who was crossing the street in Hitchcock’s infamous film The Birds.  What about Ms Schiffer and Miss Spoke lurking in the background at the café, or Miss Shire working behind the counter in the petrol pump…

In Jammy Voo’s Birdhouse these minor characters step out of the shadows; sole survivors of the bird attack that wiped out the town.  Living in a permanent state of post-traumatic shock, can they now survive their own personal apocalypses?

This wonderfully surreal comedy horror, featuring sumptuous visuals, wild puppetry and a live bird band, examines fear, vulnerability and the far edge of madness.
