songbird is a Gothic tale about ISABELLA, who finds herself trapped in an oppressive marriage with her drunken oaf of a husband, WALTER. One night at the dinner table her songbird won't stop chirping, which sends WALTER into a rage. Only when he threatens to take away the one thing she loves does ISABELLA find the strength to fight back with gruesome tenacity. Written by John Thompson
