Based on the true story of the senseless, unsolved stabbing of a teenager, Dan Bishop's dark comedy explores the impact random acts of violence have on young people and their interpretation of the world. The talented ensemble deliver this whirlwind ride with trademark wit and honesty, sharing youthful perspectives with flair and fearlessness. Birthday Cake confronts our need to explain horrific events, however arbitrary, elaborate or false they may be, to make sense of a world that is ultimately disordered, chaotic and full of pineapple upside-down cake.
