Playwright Anna Ouyang Moench's 'Birds of North America' has its Los Angeles premiere at the Odyssey Theatre in a production starring Arye Gross and Jacqueline Misaye.
Birding is the language that Caitlyn must acquire to communicate with her emotionally inaccessible father, John . His hobby is donning a pair of binoculars and identifying the various species of birds that alight on the trees in his Baltimore County backyard. A medical researcher who was trained as a physician, John is not someone you would look to for solace in a crisis. Bluntly factual to an almost robotic extent, he lacks not so much the willingness but the building blocks of empathy.
An obvious choice would be Caitlyn's doctor mother, who is the chief breadwinner in her marriage. Unseen in the play, this character could shed light on her husband's deficiencies, which she has been accommodating and perhaps even enabling. But 'Birds of North America' leaves out so much context. The play takes place in a world where father-daughter turmoil eclipses other realities.
