Live Bird

Live Bird is a one-man show written by playwright, actor and musician Jeff Robinson celebrating the life of jazz legend Charlie Parker. The play is set in a bar in New York City during the summer of 1947. Bird talks about his days in Kansas City Missouri to imaginary characters, imitates Lester Young and plays some of his own songs.

Live Bird made its premier at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, Massachusetts in 1995.
