Quantum Theatre's 'Chickens' scratches under surface of relationships

TribLIVE: Playwright Paul Kruse thinks chickens don't get the respect they deserve.

“They are helpless and a bit dumb, but (together) they make up a ‘flock mind,' ” Kruse says.

That's why he included a flock of four fowl along with six human characters in his drama “Chickens in the Yard,” which Quantum Theatre is producing in collaboration with the Hatch Arts Collective, a Pittsburgh-based multi-disciplinary theatrical organization.
