Byrd’s Boy

In the Summer of 1988 the son of Admiral Byrd, the polar explorer, was discovered dead in a Baltimore Warehouse, alone and destitute. From this slim source, writer Bruce J. Robinson has fashioned Byrd’s Boy, a play about an old homeless man living in a warehouse, who calls himself Byrd, and is discovered by Birdie, a black female guard. What ensues is a touching tale of two misfits, bonded by name and loneliness, trying to belong in a fatherless world.
