Harpy
Synopsis
Birdie’s a hoarder. The neighbours call her a harridan and a harpy, although most have never even met her. They see her hoard as a hazard for house prices. But it isn’t rubbish. It’s her life’s work and it exists because years ago something deeply cherished was stolen from her; Birdie’s not been able to give up anything since.
She’ll do anything to get this priceless thing back. Anything at all.
National treasure Su Pollard gives a one-woman tour-de-force performance in this razor-sharp and bittersweet dark drama from Fringe First award winner Philip Meeks (Kiss Me Honey, Honey!, Murder, Margaret and Me).

Reviews
Su Pollard gives the performance of her life, an unmissable tour-de-force of comedy and drama brought together in a fantastically constructed piece of theatre.
THEATRE WEEKLY
A bitter-sweet production… Pollard is effortless… she delivers a powerful performance which has the audience hooked from the thunderous entrance straight through.
EDFEST MAG
Su Pollard excels... Meeks has woven an elaborate script... beautifully deep and detailed.
BROADWAY BABY
A very sad, very funny existential tale expertly articulated by Philip Meeks.
West End Wilma
Razor-sharp writing... filled with laugh-out-loud humour, celebrating eccentricity.
