Director Blake Anthony Edwards and actors Abi Renner and John Murphy joined host Henry McNulty in the studio to discuss Gonzaga University's upcoming production of Stupid F**king Bird, a "(post-) modern re-telling of Russian playwright Anton Chekhov's 1895 masterpiece The Seagull." They describe the similarities and differences between the two works, what it means to create art, and the lead character's killer playlist.

Trigger Warning: this audio contains references to self-harm.
