What to expect
chickens in the middle of the night—an entire egg farm’s worth of animals. They assemble a precarious, quarrelsome
team and descend on the farm on a dark spring evening. It doesn’t go as planned.
In her most powerful work yet, Deb Olin Unferth tells a wildly inventive, unforgettable heist story, with one million
nonhuman consciousnesses at its center. Funny, philosophical, heartening and heartbreaking, Barn 8 ultimately asks:
What constitutes meaningful action in a world so in need of change? Unferth comes at this question with striking
ingenuity, razor-sharp wit, and ferocious passion. Barn 8 is a rare comic-political drama that could have been written
by no one else.
