The Birds Keep On Singing
Cecily O'neill


What readers are saying
Readers love the emotional depth and humor of the play, highlighting its poignant storytelling about civilian life during WWII. Many consider it one of the most underrated works, praising its unique blend of heartbreak and comedy. Overall, it resonates deeply with audiences who feel strongly about its themes and characters.
This play follows the course of World War II as experienced by a working-class family in Newcastle, each scene being opened by a member of the family addressing the audience or singing a song of the period.
In wartime there are no public worries, only private worries, and this story of the family's personal relationships, preoccupations, troubles and joys suggests, perhaps, the reason why, with all the perils and troubles besieging it, the human race will continue to survive.3 women, 4 men
