Oh My Irma
Written and performed by Haley McGee
Directed by Alisa Palmer
***** “Mission Bird is sharp, your fingernails will sting afterwards… the next darling of Canadian theatre.” SEE Magazine, Edmonton
WINNER “Best Production” United Solo Theatre Festival 2011, NYC
NNNN “(Imagine a spazzed-out combination of Napoleon Dynamite, Michael Cera and a crackhead)… An adorable oddball anti-hero, Misson Bird is such a wonderfully formed character, it would be a shame if her twisted adventures ended here.” NOW Magazine, Toronto
Oh My Irma sees Haley McGee bring the memorable Mission Bird, a socially inept young woman with an insatiable appetite for connection, to the stage in her hilarious and mesmerizing “tour de force” play
A comedy with razor teeth, Mission Bird finds herself in front of an audience, defending an unnamable crime which YES, she committed, but it wasn’t her fault. The Tarantino-esque story takes macabre turns and Mission Bird’s ardent defense crumbles as she comes closer to revealing to the audience what she’s done – who she’s killed.
Audience Advisories: this show is 60 minutes long with no intermission. No latecomer seating. Contains dark and disturbing subject matter, and is not suitable for younger audiences.
