If We Were Birds is a brave and ingenious adaptation of Book 6 of Ovid's Metamorphoses, featuring a chorus of women, each a survivor of a 20th Century conflict. Winner of the 2011 Governor General’s Award for Drama, If We Were Birds is a moving, funny and unsettling play that gives voice to women forced into silence through violence; an uncompromising examination of the transformative nature of revenge.
