THE BIRDS AND THE BEES
THE BIRDS AND THE BEES
By Mark Crawford
Sarah, a turkey farmer, has split up with her husband and moved in with her mom, Gail, a beekeeper. Add in Earl, the flirty neighbour, and Ben, an eager young graduate student, and you have the perfect breeding ground for unlikely attractions. Set in adjoining bedrooms, The Birds and the Bees is a Canadian comedy about love, lust, beekeeping, and the artificial insemination of turkeys.
Running time: approx. 2h 15m, including intermission

What could be better therapy than an old-fashioned, knee-slapping, rip-roaring sex comedy?
