Ravonna killed her sister. Or so she thought. 

Then Ravonna discovered that the consciousness experiment she tampered with actually trapped not one, but two souls inside a starling bird specimen: her sister’s and her ex-mentor’s wife. With time running out, Dr. Sandra Beetle and Ravonna have to put aside their hatred to rescue their loved ones by inserting Ravonna into the starling’s consciousness. But once inside, Ravonna uncovers a maze of haunting memories that may have been better left forgotten.

Brought to life in a stunning world premiere, The Starling Effect will offer Calgary audiences a rare chance to see science fiction live on stage. For the first time, Verb Theatre will be working in association with the up and coming collective Reckless Daughter Creative to bring you this non-stop thriller.
