Birdcatcher
A new play by Laura Waldren
Birdcatcher is a darkly comic coming-of-age drama about a teenage girl navigating life inside a religious cult. Set in East Yorkshire, the play shines a light on the murky, repressive underworld and asks how you find yourself in a world you think is about to end.
Commissioned by Pentabus, the inaugural production will be directed by BAFTA winning director Elle While. Birdcatcher will preview to rural audiences in Autumn 2026 before touring to studio theatres across the UK Spring 2027.
A Pentabus production in association with Papatango Theatre Company and Middle Child Theatre.
