The Starling Hotline

A play about Birds, about Climate Change and about Community. Meet Mickey – a 37 year old, self-made, single-Mum – returning to her childhood home on the East Coast of England to sort through the possessions of her own deceased mother and somewhat reluctant to pick over the bones of a complicated childhood. Instead, Mickey stumbles in on an obsessively compiled archive of voice recordings, documenting the movements of local murmurations of Starlings and the plight of the Uks fastest declining birds – kept over twenty-six years, and logged on nearly two thousand C90 cassette tapes.Performance at Green Note, Camden.
