Description

From David Burke of the The Quad City Times: “A cowbird, according to playwright Julie Marie Myatt, lays its eggs in other birds’ nest and never returns to them. Myatt took that notion to her play, also called COWBIRD, and the script intrigued Chris Jansen. ‘The playwright keeps grabbing you,’ said Jansen, the artistic director of New Ground Theatre in Davenport. ‘You think you’ve figured it out and then you get something else.’ Jansen is keeping mum about the plot of COWBIRD … ‘It’s like a puzzle in the end,’ she said. She hinted that the plot includes adoption and finding an adoptee’s biological parents. ‘It’s a very funny play about a somewhat serious subject,’ she said …”
